This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on the experimental study of the rotating-disk boundary-layer flow. In the case of the natural flow, different flow regimes are identified as a function of nondimensional distance, R, from the disk axis. Mean-velocity profiles initially follow the von Karman solution. At higher R, departures arise and increase with R, which are due to the spatial growth of boundary-layer instability modes, whose radial growth rates are found to match linear-theory predictions. The profiles in the fully turbulent region follow the turbulent log law and the velocity spectra exhibit Kolmogorov-type power laws. To study the response to forcing, a setup has been designed which allows the excitation of stationary (in the lab frame) disturbances or disturbances which rotate with a frequency independently of the disk frequency. The flow response to both types of forcing and two forcing element geometries was studied. Stationary forcing produces a wake which decays with distance from the element, in agreement with theory. Forcing due to rotating elements can generate growing wavepacket-like disturbances, which although nonlinear, follow trajectories close to linear-theory predictions.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation concerns experimental work on the instability and transition of the rotating-disk boundary-layer flow. In the case of the natural flow (i.e. without forcing), measurements of mean-flow profiles, frequency spectra and phase-locked averages of the velocity time series allow us to distinguish different flow regimes as a function of nondimensional distance, R, from the disk axis. As R increases, the mean-velocity profiles initially follow the von Kármán solution. At higher R, departures arise and increase with R. These departures are due to the spatial growth of boundary-layer instability modes (cross-flow vortices), whose radial growth rates are found to match linear-theory predictions. The flow becomes transitional at R ≈ 530 and fully turbulent by R ≈ 600. The profiles in the fully turbulent region follow the log law of turbulent boundary layers and the velocity spectra exhibit Kolmogorov-type power laws. To study the response to forcing, an experimental apparatus has been designed which allows the excitation of stationary (in thelaboratory frame of reference) disturbances or disturbances which rotate with a frequency which can be varied independently of the disk rotation rate. The flow response to both types of forcing and two forcing-element geometries was studied. Stationary forcing produces a wake which decays with distance from the element, in agreement with theory. Forcing due to rotating elements can generate growing wavepacket-like disturbances, which although nonlinear, follow trajectories close to linear-theory predictions.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost all practical turbulent flows include three dimensional boundary layers (3DTBL's), and in many cases, the 3DTBL is the dominant feature of the flow. A boundary layer is defined as a thin layer adjacent to the surface in which the velocity drops rapidly from the freestream value to zero at the wall. A 3D boundary layer is one in which the flow direction also changes rapidly approaching the wall. This change in the flow direction called skewing is caused by transverse pressure gradients, centrifugal forces, or motion of the surface. Most research on turbulent boundary layers has been done in simple two dimensional flows in carefully controlled wind tunnels. Such boundary layers are now well understood, and excellent models are available describing both the fluid mechanics and heat transfer behavior. Recent fluid mechanics studies have shown that skewing can have a pronounced effect on the boundary layer turbulence. Models based on eddy-viscosity concepts fail, and more complex stress transport models cannot capture the reduction of turbulent mixing that usually accompanies skewing. It was unknown prior to the present study what effect the skewing might have on turbulent heat transfer. It was suspected that turbulent heat transport would be reduced in analogy to the reductions of turbulent shear stress. It was also unknown how the skewing would effect the turbulent Prandtl number, a quantity which is embedded in most turbulent heat transfer prediction schemes. The objectives of the present study were then to study the surface heat transfer rate and the turbulent heat flux in a simple three dimensional boundary layer. In particular, the research addressed the heat transfer from a heated disk rotating in an otherwise quiescent environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three-dimensional turbulent boundary layers (3DTBL) are seen quite commonly in nature as well as in the engineering applications. Despite this, very few high Reynolds number studies have been carried out on these boundary layers, particularly focusing on eddy structure, eddy scales and their interactions. The current study focused on developing, characterizing and evaluating an experimental framework to study high Reynolds number #3DTBL on a rotating disk with the long-term goal of carrying out high-fidelity measurements. The rotating disk flow is characterized by weak centrifugal pumping which sets up the cross flow that leads to turbulence. The tangential and radial velocities were measured using hot-wire anemometry. The mean flow, turbulent intensity, energy spectra, skewness and kurtosis of the flow have been analyzed and compared with 2DTBL measurements. It was found that the measurements collapsed well for z/9 > 0.3-0.4 in outer scaling. Closer to the wall and in inner scaling, collapse of the data was not achieved. The main associated errors were the disk flatness, signal attenuation caused by spatial and temporal resolution challenges and hot-wire conduction close to the wall. The encountered challenges and steps taken to address these are discussed in detail.

This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is devoted to investigation of a series of problems of convective heat and mass transfer in rotating-disk systems. Such systems are widespread in scienti?c and engineering applications. As examples from the practical area, one can mention gas turbine and computer engineering, disk brakes of automobiles, rotating-disk air cleaners, systems of microclimate, extractors, dispensers of liquids, evaporators, c- cular saws, medical equipment, food process engineering, etc. Among the scienti?c applications, it is necessary to point out rotating-disk electrodes used for experim- tal determination of the diffusion coef?cient in electrolytes. The system consisting of a ?xed disk and a rotating cone that touches the disk by its vertex is widely used for measurement of the viscosity coef?cient of liquids. For time being, large volume of experimental and computational data on par- eters of ?uid ?ow, heat and mass transfer in different types of rotating-disk systems have been accumulated, and different theoretical approaches to their simulation have been developed. This obviously causes a need of systematization and generalization of these data in a book form.

This book was released on 2015-07-24 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents results of the analytical and numerical modeling of convective heat and mass transfer in different rotating flows caused by (i) system rotation, (ii) swirl flows due to swirl generators, and (iii) surface curvature in turns and bends. Volume forces (i.e. centrifugal and Coriolis forces), which influence the flow pattern, emerge in all of these rotating flows. The main part of this work deals with rotating flows caused by system rotation, which includes several rotating-disk configurations and straight pipes rotating about a parallel axis. Swirl flows are studied in some of the configurations mentioned above. Curvilinear flows are investigated in different geometries of two-pass ribbed and smooth channels with 180° bends. The author demonstrates that the complex phenomena of fluid flow and convective heat transfer in rotating flows can be successfully simulated using not only the universal CFD methodology, but in certain cases by means of the integral methods, self-similar and analytical solutions. The book will be a valuable read for research experts and practitioners in the field of heat and mass transfer.

Book excerpt: In order to understand and predict the behavior of a flow around an object it is necessary to study the phenomenon present on the close-to-the-wall region of the flow, where the viscous forces cannot be neglected nor the variations of the properties of the flow. This region is called the boundary layer. In many situations, the contribution of the viscous friction in the boundary layer into the total drag can be substantial, and understanding of the effect of the roughness on the boundary layer is of importance. This project is focused on the study of the boundary layer created near two different objects: a flat plate and a rotating disk. The flat plate is widely used in fundamental studies and in the engineering industry as an approximation of more complex models, for instance the ship hull in the naval engineering. The influence of the roughness on the friction drag can be obtained from testing of different plate models in a towing tank. Although this approximation usually offers a good agreement, experimental data and measurements are expensive to obtain. In order to reduce the cost of the experiments, a rotating disk is used an approximation of a flat plate since the installation and design of the experiment is not only cheaper but also simpler. The validation of this approximation is the main objective of this project and it is carried out by a study which is focused on finding similarities between both boundary layer properties with the aid of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Also, experimental measurements are compared with CFD result with the aim of a validation of the CFD results.
