Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A qualitative study was made of the flow field induced by an enclosed rotating disk with a radially outward throughflow superposed using air as the test fluid. The purpose of this survey is a determination of the range of variables at which important phenomena occur so that a quantitative study of surface resistance, pressure and velocity distribution and other observed phenomena such as unsteadiness, boundary layer separation and stall may be made. Disks of 18-1/8 inches diameter enclosed in a housing in which axial spacing could be varied from 1/8 inch to 2-1/8 inches were used in this study. Througflow was admitted in the axial direction at the front and rear of the disk housing in such a way as to make the flow on both sides of the disk as symmetrical as possible. Flow visualization was made possible using smoke injected at various points. Stroboscopic photography aided the visual observations of the flow field. Transition to turbulence was observed to be a function of the local Reynolds number ... and the axial spacing. It was observed that the torque was increased by throughflow over the corresponding value without throughflow. A systematic change in the pressure field was observed with increasing amounts of throughflow. Of particular interest is the observation under certain conditions of large periodic fluctuations, the frequency of which is related to the rotational speed, and the amount of throughflow.

Download or read book Rotating Flow written by Peter Childs and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2010-10-29 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rotating flow is critically important across a wide range of scientific, engineering and product applications, providing design and modeling capability for diverse products such as jet engines, pumps and vacuum cleaners, as well as geophysical flows.Developed over the course of 20 years' research into rotating fluids and associated heat transfer at the University of Sussex Thermo-Fluid Mechanics Research Centre (TFMRC), Rotating Flow is an indispensable reference and resource for all those working within the gas turbine and rotating machinery industries.Traditional fluid and flow dynamics titles offer the essential background but generally include very sparse coverage of rotating flows—which is where this book comes in. Beginning with an accessible introduction to rotating flow, recognized expert Peter Childs takes you through fundamental equations, vorticity and vortices, rotating disc flow, flow around rotating cylinders and flow in rotating cavities, with an introduction to atmospheric and oceanic circulations included to help deepen understanding.Whilst competing resources are weighed down with complex mathematics, this book focuses on the essential equations and provides full workings to take readers step-by-step through the theory so they can concentrate on the practical applications. - A detailed yet accessible introduction to rotating flows, illustrating the differences between flows where rotation is significant and highlighting the non-intuitive nature of rotating flow fields - Written by world-leading authority on rotating flow, Peter Childs, making this a unique and authoritative work - Covers the essential theory behind engineering applications such as rotating discs, cylinders, and cavities, with natural phenomena such as atmospheric and oceanic flows used to explain underlying principles - Provides a rigorous, fully worked mathematical account of rotating flows whilst also including numerous practical examples in daily life to highlight the relevance and prevalence of different flow types - Concise summaries of the results of important research and lists of references included to direct readers to significant further resources

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: obtained are still severely limited to low Reynolds numbers (about only one decade better than direct numerical simulations), and the interpretation of such calculations for complex, curved geometries is still unclear. It is evident that a lot of work (and a very significant increase in available computing power) is required before such methods can be adopted in daily's engineering practice. I hope to l"Cport on all these topics in a near future. The book is divided into six chapters, each· chapter in subchapters, sections and subsections. The first part is introduced by Chapter 1 which summarizes the equations of fluid mechanies, it is developed in C~apters 2 to 4 devoted to the construction of turbulence models. What has been called "engineering methods" is considered in Chapter 2 where the Reynolds averaged equations al"C established and the closure problem studied (§1-3). A first detailed study of homogeneous turbulent flows follows (§4). It includes a review of available experimental data and their modeling. The eddy viscosity concept is analyzed in §5 with the l"Csulting ~alar-transport equation models such as the famous K-e model. Reynolds stl"Css models (Chapter 4) require a preliminary consideration of two-point turbulence concepts which are developed in Chapter 3 devoted to homogeneous turbulence. We review the two-point moments of velocity fields and their spectral transforms (§ 1), their general dynamics (§2) with the particular case of homogeneous, isotropie turbulence (§3) whel"C the so-called Kolmogorov's assumptions are discussed at length.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heat transfer is the exchange of heat energy between a system and its surrounding environment, which results from a temperature difference and takes place by means of a process of thermal conduction, mechanical convection, or electromagnetic radiation. Advances in Heat Transfer is designed to fill the information gap between regularly scheduled journals and university-level textbooks by providing in-depth review articles over a broader scope than is allowable in either journals or texts.
