We study the influence of particle shape on evolution breakage process taking place inside rotating cylinders. Extensive dynamics simulations into account granular flow, breakage, and polygonal shapes were carried out. find that rate is faster in samples composed initially rounder particles. The analysis active flowing layer thickness suggests for particles a relatively lower dilatancy higher c...

We consider the motion of a viscous compressible and heat conducting fluid confined in gap between two rotating cylinders (Taylor–Couette flow). The temperature is fixed but not necessarily constant. show that problem admits time-periodic solution as soon ratio angular velocities rational number.

This contribution presents new phenomena regarding the stability of pressure driven flows within annular pipes. The fluid is advected downstream due to an axial pressure gradient but also subjected to centrifugal mechanisms due to the independent rotation of the coaxial cylinders that contain it. Coexistence of upstream and downstream spiral secondary flows is observed in the co-rotating regime...

Magnetorotational instability (MRI) is one of the most important and most common instabilities in astrophysics. It is widely accepted that it serves as a source of turbulent viscosity in accretion disks – the most energy efficient objects in the Universe. However it is very difficult to bring this process down on earth and model it in a laboratory experiment. Several different approaches have b...

Continuum theory is employed to investigate the stability of a sample of nematic liquid crystal contained between two long, concentric, circular cylinders, rotating with constant angular velocity about the cylindrical axis, when subjected to a radial thermal gradient. We consider the arrangement in which the anisotropic axis of the material is initially uniformly aligned parallel to the axis of...

Electro-rotation can be used to determine the dielectric properties of cells, as well as to observe dynamic changes in both dielectric and morphological properties. Suspended biological cells and particles respond to alternating-field polarization by moving, deforming or rotating. While in linearly polarized alternating fields the particles are oriented along their axis of highest polarizabilit...

We present numerical simulations to demonstrate the existence of laminar spiral flows between both finite and infinite length concentric cylinders and finite truncated cones where only the inner wall rotates. The velocities and pressure are calculated by a spectral element/Fourier method. Different gap ratios are investigated. Convergence of the numerical results is shown with reference to flow...

Turbulent Taylor–Couette flow between two concentric independently rotating cylinders with a radius ratio of $\eta = 0.1$ is studied experimentally. While the scope to study counter-rotating cases both cylinders, radial and azimuthal velocity components are recorded at different horizontal planes high-speed particle image velocimetry. The parametric considered set shear Reynolds numbers in rang...

Following recent works of several authors like Huilgol, Bhattacharya etd. and Javadpour et al., this paper is to contribute further to the literature of axial flow in a rotational coaxial rheometer. We consider axial flow of Herschel Bulkley mode1 between two concentric cylinders with the inner one rotating, while the outer cylinder is held stationary. An attempt has been made to direct the...
