Complex dynamics in a short annular container with rotating bottom and inner cylinder
نویسندگان
چکیده
The nonlinear dynamics of the flow in a short annulus driven by the rotation of the inner cylinder and bottom endwall is considered. The shortness of the annulus enhances the role of mode competition. For aspect ratios greater than about 3, the flow dynamics are dominated by a centrifugal instability as the rotating inner cylinder imparts angular momentum to the adjacent fluid, resulting in a three-cell state; the cells are analoguous to Taylor–Couette vortices. For aspect ratios less than about 2.8, the dynamics are dominated by the boundary layer on the bottom rotating endwall that is turned by the stationary outer cylinder to produce an internal shear layer that is azimuthally unstable via Hopf bifurcations. For intermediate aspect ratios, the competition between these instability mechanisms leads to very complicated dynamics, including homoclinic and heteroclinic phenomena. The dynamics are organized by a codimension-two fold-Hopf bifurcation, where modes due to both instability mechanisms bifurcate simultaneously. The dynamics are explored using a threedimensional Navier–Stokes solver, which is also implemented in a number of invariant subspaces in order to follow some unstable solution branches and obtain a fairly complete bifurcation diagram of the mode competitions.

The behavior of the flow between two coaxial conical cylinders with the inner one rotating and the outer one stationary is studied numerically. The angular velocity of the inner cone cylinder was raised step by step from the rest until reaching its final speed. In this work we first present a numerical simulation of the flow characteristics and the heat transfer mechanism of a fluid in the spac...

A mathematical analysis has been carried out for the axial flow of a Bingham plastic fluid, in the Concentric Cylinder Viscometer which consists of a cylindrical sample holder (the cup) and a cylindrical spindle (the bob) coaxial with the cup. The fluid to be tested flows through the annular gap of the cup and the bob system, sheared by the rotation of the inner cylinder, while the outer cy...
