Boundary-layer and Interior Separations in the Taylor–couette–poiseuille Flow

چکیده
In this article, we derive a rigorous characterization of the boundary-layer and interior separations in the Taylor-Couette-Poiseuille (TCP) flow. The results obtained provide a rigorous characterization on how, when and where the propagating Taylor vortices (PTV) are generated. In particular, contrary to what is commonly believed, we show that the PTV do not appear after the first dynamical bifurcation, and they appear only when the Taylor number is further increased to cross another critical value so that a structural bifurcation occurs. This structural bifurcation corresponds to the boundary-layer and interior separations of the flow structure in the physical space.

Using Burnett Equations to Derive an Analytical Solution to Pressure-Driven Gas Flow and Heat Transfer in Micro-Couette Flow
The aim of the present study is deriving an analytical solution to incompressible thermal flow in a micro-Couette geometry in the presence of a pressure gradient using Burnett equations with first- and second-order slip boundary conditions. The lower plate of the micro-Couette structure is stationary, whereas the upper plate moves at a constant velocity. Non-dimensional axial velocity and tempe...
متن کاملOn scaling the mean momentum balance and its solutions in turbulent Couette–Poiseuille flow
The statistical properties of fully developed planar turbulent Couette–Poiseuille flow result from the simultaneous imposition of a mean wall shear force together with a mean pressure force. Despite the fact that pure Poiseuille flow and pure Couette flow are the two extremes of Couette–Poiseuille flow, the statistical properties of the latter have proved resistant to scaling approaches that co...
متن کاملBubbly turbulent drag reduction is a boundary layer effect.
In turbulent Taylor-Couette flow, the injection of bubbles reduces the overall drag. On the other hand, rough walls enhance the overall drag. In this work, we inject bubbles into turbulent Taylor-Couette flow with rough walls (with a Reynolds number up to 4 x 10(5), finding an enhancement of the dimensionless drag as compared to the case without bubbles. The dimensional drag is unchanged. As in...
متن کاملConvective and absolute instabilities in counter-rotating spiral Poiseuille flow
We present results of an experimental study on the stability of Taylor–Couette flow in case of counter-rotating cylinders and an imposed axial through flow. We are able to confirm results form recent numerical investigations done by Pinter et al. [24] by measuring the absolute and convective stability boundaries of both propagating Taylor vortices (PTV) and spiral vortices (SPI). Thus our work ...
