Torque scaling in turbulent Taylor-Couette flow with co- and counterrotating cylinders.
We analyze the global transport properties of turbulent Taylor-Couette flow in the strongly turbulent regime for independently rotating outer and inner cylinders, reaching Reynolds numbers of the inner and outer cylinders of Re(i) = 2×10(6) and Re(o) = ±1.4×10(6), respectively. For all Re(i), Re(o), the dimensionless torque G scales as a function of the Taylor number Ta (which is proportional t...
متن کاملScaling of torque in turbulent Taylor-Couette flow with background rotation
We did an experimental study on Taylor-Couette flow in between two coaxial cylinders of length L = 220 mm and radii r i = 110 and r o = 120, respectively, the fluid-filled 'Taylor-Couette gap' or TC-gap being h = 10 mm, thus gap ratio η = r i /r o = 0.917, and gap aspect ratio L/h = 22). Both cylinders are rotating independently, with angular frequencies ω i,o , The torque T on the inner cylind...
متن کاملOscillating Taylor-Couette Flow
A flow transition in a coaxial rotating cylinder with only inner cylinder rotation was investigated using ultrasonic Doppler method for a wide range of Reynolds number up to 40 times critical Reynolds number (Rc). By analysing spatio-temporal velocity profiles, excitation functions of various transition modes such as wavy and modulated wavy modes were obtained using space-time Fourier expansion...
متن کاملUltimate turbulent Taylor-Couette flow.
The flow structure of strongly turbulent Taylor-Couette flow with Reynolds numbers up to Re(i)=2×10(6) of the inner cylinder is experimentally examined with high-speed particle image velocimetry (PIV). The wind Reynolds numbers Re(w) of the turbulent Taylor-vortex flow is found to scale as Re(w)∝Ta(1/2), exactly as predicted by Grossmann and Lohse [Phys. Fluids 23, 045108 (2011).] for the ultim...
متن کاملVelocity field for Taylor–Couette flow with an axial flow
The flow in the gap between an inner rotating cylinder concentric with an outer stationary cylinder with an imposed pressure-driven axial flow was studied experimentally using particle image velocimetry ~PIV! in a meridional plane of the annulus. The radius ratio was h50.83 and the aspect ratio was G547. Velocity vector fields for nonwavy toroidal and helical vortices show the axial flow windin...
