Correction to the Taylor hypothesis in swirling flows

چکیده
We present experimental results on the analysis of turbulent velocity measurements in the flow that develops in the gap between two coaxial counter-rotating disks (von K£rm£n swirling flow). In the absence of a well-defined mean velocity we introduce the use of a "local Taylor hypothesis" to obtain spatial information from hot-wire measurement at a fixed location. The results are in agreement with conventional open-flow experiments.

External and Internal Incompressible Viscous Flows Computation using Taylor Series Expansion and Least Square based Lattice Boltzmann Method
The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has recently become an alternative and promising computational fluid dynamics approach for simulating complex fluid flows. Despite its enormous success in many practical applications, the standard LBM is restricted to the lattice uniformity in the physical space. This is the main drawback of the standard LBM for flow problems with complex geometry. Several app...

A numerical simulation of reactive swirling methane/air non-premixed flame in a new three-dimensional model combustion chamber is carried out to assess the performance of two thermal radiation models, namely, the Discrete Transfer Radiation Model and the P-1 Model. A Finite Volume staggered grid approach is employed to solve the governing equations.The second-order upwind scheme is applied for...
متن کاملExperimental Study on Swirling Flow with Sudden Expansion by Using 3D Particle Image Velocimetry Technique and Heat Transfer in a Circular Horizontal Tube
The effect of swirling on the flow characteristics of tubes with sudden expansion is experimentally examined by 3D particle image velocimetry(PIV) technique to determine velocity profiles. The swirling flow of water in sudden 1:2 axisymmetric expansion has been previously studied within a horizontal round tube. A tangential slot is used as a swirl generator for swirling flow, whereas a honey co...
متن کاملLarge-eddy simulation of swirling particle-laden flows in a coaxial-jet combustor
Large-eddy simulation (LES) of particle-laden, swirling flow in a coaxial-jet combustor is performed. A mixture of air and lightly loaded, spherical, glass-particles with a prescribed size-distribution enters the primary jet, while a swirling stream of air flows through the annulus. The incompressible, spatially filtered Navier–Stokes equations are solved on unstructured grids to compute the tu...
