Vortex rope mitigation with azimuthal perturbations: A numerical study
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 Abstract A novel method to mitigate the rotating vortex rope is investigated numerically on a propeller turbine using ANSYS CFX. Pulsating momentum is injected in a horizontal plane in the diffuser cone from four evenly spaced jets. Three mitigation strategies are tested; M1 in which the momentum is injected perpendicular to the axial ...

Jump rope vortex in liquid metal convection [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018 Significance The large-scale circulation (LSC) is the key dynamical feature of turbulent thermal convection. It is the underlying structure that shapes the appearance of geo- and astrophysical systems, such as the solar granulation or cloud streets, and the cornerstone of theoretical models.
