Abstract:
A comparative study of visualization of Stokes flow induced by rotation of a circular cylinder in a V-shaped and rectangular channel was performed. The visualization was carried out using solid tracers of magnesium. Some quantitative data were deduced from visualization photographs and a comparison was made.
