Research Abstract |
The flows around a rotating disk in a cylindrical casing and the flows between vertical coaxial cylinders are examined and the flow control method to obtain a optimal states is established. In the flow around the rotating disk, a variety of flow modes that originate from the radial clearance between the disk rim and the shroud and depend on the Reynolds number and the flow configuration are specified and classified. At the high Reynolds numbers, the interaction between the flow in the radial clearance and the spiral rolls in the disk region is investigated. In the flow between rotating cylinders, the transient Reynolds numbers at which the secondary flows transit to the primary flows are determined. These results give a new insight into the investigation of the dynamical mechanics in the three-dimensional rotating flows and contribute to provide control conditions to attain favorable flows.
