Vortex suppression and drag reduction in the wake of counter-rotating cylinders
The flow over a pair of counter-rotating cylinders is investigated numerically and experimentally. It is demonstrated that it is possible to suppress unsteady vortex shedding for gap sizes from one to five cylinder diameters, at Reynolds numbers from 100 to 200, expanding on the more limited work by Chan & Jameson (Intl J. Numer. Meth. Fluids, vol. 63, 2010, p. 22). The degree of unsteady wake ...
متن کاملVortex Structures in the Wake of Inclined Cylinders
In this experimental study, vortex structures in the wake of inclined slender cylinders’ tip have been investigated. Thin cylinders of various diameters between 0.5 mm to 3.5 mm with large aspect ratios ( >> 1) have been exposed to low Reynolds number (Re) flow starting from Re = 150 to 2000. The cylinders were mounted at an angle of attack “” which was varied from 30 0 to 90 0 . Vortex sheddi...
متن کاملDrag and lift forces on a counter-rotating cylinder in rotating flow
Results are reported of an experimental investigation into the motion of a heavy cylinder free to move inside a water-filled drum rotating around its horizontal axis. The cylinder is observed to either co-rotate or, counter-intuitively, counter-rotate with respect to the rotating drum. The flow was measured with particle image velocimetry, and it was found that the inner cylinder significantly ...
متن کاملStable counter-rotating vortex pairs in saturable media
We resolve a controversial issue of the stability of composite vortex solitons in self-focusing saturable nonlinear media. Stable vortex solitons with hidden angular momentum, i.e., composed of counter-rotating beams with topological charges +1 and −1, are found, and their linear-stability region is identified. In contrast, the solitons with explicit vorticity are always unstable against splitt...
