Unsteady Pressure Measurements in a Heated Rotating Cavity

Unsteady Pressure and Velocity Measurements in Pumps

The objective of this paper is to report the state-of-the-art of unsteady pressure measurements in pumps. Though optical techniques seem in some aspects more attracting, unsteady pressure measurements can give a detailed insight in static as well as dynamic operating behaviour of pumps. A brief description of wall mounted pressure transducers and of probes fitted with miniature pressure transdu...

Unsteady granular flows in a rotating tumbler.

The characteristics of steady granular flow in quasi-two-dimensional rotating tumblers have been thoroughly investigated and are fairly well understood. However, unsteady time-varying flow has not been studied in detail. The linear response of granular flow in quasi-two-dimensional rotating tumblers is presented for periodic forcing protocols via sinusoidal variation in the rotational speed of ...

Convective Heat Transfer from a Heated Rotating Disk at Arbitrary Inclination Angle in Laminar Flow

In this paper, experimental data and numerical results of heat transfer from a heated rotating disk in still air are presented over a large range of inclination angles and a dimensionless correlation is developed for forced, natural and mixed convection. The measured Nusselt number over the rotating disk is compared with the numerical results. The goal of the present research is to develop a se...

On hydromagnetic oscillations in a rotating cavity

Time-dependent hydromagnetic phenomena in a rotating spherical cavity are investigated in the framework of an interior boundary-layer expansion. The interior problem is shown to contain waves whose frequencies are of order o, A o and A2u, where w is the rotation rate of the cavity and A2 = B2/4npu2R2 < 1 is the Alfven number. B is an imposed magnetic field, p the fluid density and R the radius ...
