Temporal modulation of traveling waves in the flow between rotating cylinders with broken azimuthal symmetry.

چکیده
The effect of temporal modulation on traveling waves in the flows in two distinct systems of rotating cylinders, both with broken azimuthal symmetry, has been investigated. It is shown that by modulating the control parameter at twice the critical frequency one can excite phaselocked standing waves and standing-wave-like states which are not allowed when the system is rotationally symmetric. We also show how previous theoretical results can be extended to handle patterns such as these, that are periodic in two spatial direction. PACS numbers: 47.20.-k,47.27.Ak

The Traveling-wave Mri in Cylindrical Taylor-couette Flow: Comparing Wavelengths and Speeds in Theory and Experiment
We study experimentally the flow of a liquid metal confined between differentially rotating cylinders, in the presence of externally imposed axial and azimuthal magnetic fields. For increasingly large azimuthal fields a wavelike disturbance arises, traveling along the axis of the cylinders. The wavelengths and speeds of these structures, as well as the field strengths and rotation rates at whic...
متن کاملNonlinear standing waves in Couette-Taylor flow.
A nonlinear stability analysis by Demay and looss [J. Mec. Theor. Appl. , special issue, p. 193 (1984)] of flow between concentric rotating cylinders (the Couette-Taylor system) predicted a transition from the basic flow to a state with ribbons, which are traveling waves in the azimuthal direction but standing waves in the axial direction. We have observed the transition to ribbons in laborator...
متن کاملTraveling Waves of Some Symmetric Planar Flows of Non-Newtonian Fluids
We present some variants of Burgers-type equations for incompressible and isothermal planar flow of viscous non-Newtonian fluids based on the Cross, the Carreau and the power-law rheology models, and on a symmetry assumption on the flow. We numerically solve the associated traveling wave equations by using industrial data and in order to validate the models we prove existence and uniqueness of ...
متن کاملPressure Calculation in the Flow Between Two Rotating Eccentric Cylinders at High Renolds Numbers
This paper reports the result of an analytical investigation of a steady, incompressible and viscous flow between two eccentric, rotating cylinders at high Reynolds number. A one dimensional case is far from reality because the gap between the cylinders is very small. Further, when their axes are displaced by a small distance, usually caused by bearing loads, two dimensional effects become obvi...
متن کاملRotating and modulated rotating waves in transitions of an enclosed swirling flow
The transitions of the flow in an enclosed cylinder driven by the constant rotation of an endwall, from steady axisymmetric flow to aperiodic flow characterized by intermittent bursting dynamics where all the spatial and spatio-temporal symmetries have been broken, is studied numerically. The problem is controlled by two parameters, the Reynolds number and the cylinder aspect ratio. We vary the...
