Vortex-Speed Selection Within the Rotating-Disk Boundary Layer
نویسنده
چکیده
A theoretical investigation into the vortex-speed selection within the rotating-disk boundary layer is conducted. Two methods are used which are different to previous investigations in the literature and enable analysis of a particular vortex speed with respect to the rotating surface. Using these methods (together with arguments based on critical Reynolds numbers, unstable parameter ranges and linear growth rates) it is hypothesised that crossflow modes travelling at around 75% of the disk surface are likely to be selected in applications where smooth, clean disks are used, for example in Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) reactors.

Vortex-speed selection within the boundary-layer flow over a rotating sphere placed in an enforced axial flow
This paper furthers existing work into the instability mechanisms within the boundary-layer flow over a rotating sphere through the study of amplification rates within the convectively-unstable region. The onset of convective instability is associated with the experimentally observed onset of spiral vortices reported in the literature. Axial flow is found to stabilize the boundary layer by both...
متن کاملBoundary Layers and Heat Transfer on a Rotating Rough Disk
The study of flow and heat transfer over rotating circular disks is of great practical importance in understanding the cooling of rotatory machinery such as turbines, electric motors and design and manufacturing of computer disk drives. This paper presents an analysis of the flow and heat transfer over a heated infinite permeable rough disk. Boundary-layer approximation reduces the elliptic Nav...
متن کاملLinear growth rates of types I and II convective modes within the rotating-cone boundary layer
Abstract Experimental observations have shown that the transition characteristics of the boundary-layer flow over rotating cones depends on the cone half-angle. In particular, pairs of counter-rotating Görtler-type vortices are observed over cones with slender half-angles and co-rotating vortices are observed over broad cones. Garrett et al (2009 J. Fluid Mech. 622 209–32) have hypothesized the...
متن کاملFlow between a stationary and a rotating disk shrouded by a co-rotating cylinder
Boundary layers on stationary and rotating disks have received much attention since von Kármán’s @Z. Angew. Math. Mech. 1, 233 ~1921!# and Bödewadt’s @Z. Angew. Math. Mech. 20, 241 ~1940!# studies of the cases with disks of infinite radius. Theoretical treatments have focused on similarity treatments leading to conflicting ideas about existence and uniqueness, and where self-similar solutions e...
متن کاملVortex-speed selection within the transitional region of rotating boundary-layer flows
We discuss the existing theoretical prediction that convective disturbances traveling between 70% and 80% of the local surface speed are the most amplified within the boundarylayer flows over rotating cones and spheres. Although most experimental observations of such flows report stationary vortices excited by surface roughnesses, we note that Kobayashi & Arai [Laminar Turbulent Transition, IUT...
