Bubbly Turbulent Drag Reduction Is a Boundary Layer Effect [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
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 ...

Scalable Exfoliation of Bulk MoS2 to Single- and Few-Layers Using Toroidal Taylor Vortices

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2018
The production of a large amount of high-quality transition metal dichalcogenides is critical for their use in industrial applications. Here, we demonstrate the scalable exfoliation of bulk molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) powders into single- or few-layer ...

Transient growth in Taylor-Couette flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Transient growth due to non-normality is investigated for the Taylor-Couette problem with counter-rotating cylinders as a function of aspect ratio eta and Reynolds number Re. For all Re < 500, transient growth is enhanced by curvature, i.e.

Direct numerical simulation of the Taylor–Couette flow with the asymmetric end-wall boundary conditions

open access: yesArchives of Mechanics, 2016
In the paper the authors present the results obtained during a direct numerical simulation of the transitional Taylor–Couette flow in closed cavity. The spectral vanishing viscosity method is used to stabilize computations for higher Reynolds numbers ...

Transient Dynamics in Counter-Rotating Stratified Taylor–Couette Flow

open access: yesMathematics, 2023
This study focuses on the investigation of stratified Taylor–Couette flow (STCF) using non-modal analysis, which has received relatively limited attention compared to other shear flows. The dynamics of perturbations under different temperature conditions

"Barber pole turbulence" in large aspect ratio Taylor-Couette flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Investigations of counter-rotating Taylor-Couette flow (TCF) in the narrow gap limit are conducted in a very large aspect ratio apparatus. The phase diagram is presented and compared to that obtained by Andereck et al.

On the CFD Analysis of a Stratified Taylor-Couette System Dedicated to the Fabrication of Nanosensors

open access: yesFluids, 2017
Since the pioneering work of Taylor, the analysis of flow regimes of incompressible, viscous fluids contained in circular Couette systems with independently rotating cylinders have charmed many researchers.

Contribution of advetion, turbulent transport and diffusion terms to Nusselt number and torque coefficient in Taylor-Couette flow

open access: yesJournal of Thermal Science and Technology, 2016
Contributions of the advection, turbulent transport and diffusion terms to the Nusselt number and the torque coefficient in the Taylor-Couette flow were evaluated. Integrating the energy equation in the Taylor-Couette flow twice gave an equation in which

Azimuthal velocity profiles in Rayleigh-stable Taylor-Couette flow and implied axial angular momentum transport [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present azimuthal velocity profiles measured in a Taylor-Couette apparatus, which has been used as a model of stellar and planetary accretion disks. The apparatus has a cylinder radius ratio of $\eta = 0.716$, an aspect-ratio of $\Gamma = 11.74$, and ...

Hydrodynamic education with rheoscopic fluid [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2019
We present a educational poster supporting the subject „Mechanics of fluids I“, which the students evaluate to be difficult mainly due to abstractness. Our goal is to show in vivo the behavior, especially the non-linearity, of various flows transiting into
