Experimental investigation of turbulent counter-rotating Taylor–Couette flows for radius ratio η = 0.1
2023
Overview
Turbulent Taylor–Couette flow between two concentric independently rotating cylinders with a radius ratio of $\\eta = 0.1$ is studied experimentally. While the scope is to study the counter-rotating cases between both cylinders, the radial and azimuthal velocity components are recorded at different horizontal planes with high-speed particle image velocimetry. The parametric study considered a set of different shear Reynolds numbers in the range of $20\\,000 \\leq Re_s \\leq 1.31 \\times 10^5$, with different rotation ratios of $-0.06 \\leq \\mu \\leq +0.008$. The observed flow fields had a clear dependence on the rotation ratio, where flow patterns evolved with a more pronounced axial dependence. The angular momentum transport is computed as a result of the recorded flow fields and given by a quasi-Nusselt number. The dependence of the Nusselt number on the different rotation ratios shows a maximum for the low counter-rotating case and $\\mu _{max}$ is found between $-0.011 < \\mu _{max} < -0.0077$. The Nusselt number decreases for stronger counter-rotation until a minimum is reached, where it tends to increase again for higher counter-rotation rates. The space–time behaviour of the turbulent flow showed the existence of patterns propagating from the inner region towards the outer region for all studied counter-rotating cases. In addition, patterns have been found that tend to propagate from the outer region towards the inner region with a novel character at high counter-rotation cases. These patterns enhance the angular momentum transport where a second maximum in the transport mechanism has to be expected.
