Compressible and confined vortex flow

The internal compressible flow of a thin vortex chamber was investigated experimentally by measuring the radial distribution of temperature and pressure, from which the velocity field was calculated. The bulk of the internal vortex was found to be described by u_θr^0.69 = constant. The total resistance of the vortex chamber to the flow was also investigated in the context of fluidic vortex diode behavior under conditions of compressible and choked flow. It was found that the vortex chamber choked at an upstream-to-downstream pressure ratio of about 6 and in doing so passed a mass flow rate of 28% of the equivalent one-dimensional ideal nozzle. The resistance of vortex chambers is known to be strongly influenced by the presence of reversed flow in the exit due to vortex breakdown. Schlieren photography of the swirling exhaust flow was used to show that, while vortex breakdown does occur, it can only do so after the flow has become subsonic downstream of the exit and cannot therefore influence the vortex chamber resistance.     

Effect of primary jet geometry on ejector performance: A cold-flow investigation

The following cold-flow study examines the interaction of the diffracted shock wave pattern and the resulting vortex loop emitted from a shock tube of various geometries, with an ejector having a round bell-shaped inlet. The focus of the study is to examine the performance of the ejector when using different jet geometries (primary flow) to entrain secondary flow through the ejector. These include two circular nozzles with internal diameters of 15 mm and 30 mm, two elliptical nozzles with minor to major axis ratios of a/b = 0.4 and 0.6 with b = 30 mm, a square nozzle with side lengths of 30 mm, and two exotic nozzles resembling a pair of lips with axis ratios of a/b = 0.2 and 0.5 with b = 30 mm. Shock tube driver pressures of P₄ = 4, 8, and 12 bar were studied, with the pressure of the shock tube driven section P₁ being atmospheric. High-speed schlieren photography using the Shimadzu Hypervision camera along with detailed pressure measurements along the ejector and the impulse created by the ejector were conducted.     

Vortex stretching and filaments

This paper presents a new technique to produce controlled stretched vortices. Intense elliptical vortices are created by stretching of an initial vorticity sheet. The initial vorticity comes from a laminar boundary layer flow and the stretching is parallel to the vorticity vectors. This low velocity flow enables direct observation of the formation and destabilization of vortices. Visualizations are combined with quasi-instantaneous measurements of a full velocity profile. The velocity profile is obtained with an ultrasonic pulsed Doppler velocimeter. The evolution of the central diameter of the vortices is related to the stretching. It is observed that destabilization occurs by pairing of two vortices, by hairpin deformation, and by breakdown of vortices into a “coil shape”.

Vortex shedding from a circular cylinder with a slit and concave rear surface

Vortex shedding from short circular cylinders with a slit was studied using a flow visualization and amplitude spectrum analysis of a thermoanemometry probe signal. It was found that a circular cylinder with a slit and concave rear surface produces stronger vortices than other bluff cylinders but that these vortices are very vulnerable to the end wall conditions. It was established that two small splitter plates (tails) fixed directly behind the cylinder at the end walls effectively isolate the vortices shed from the cylinder from the end wall boundary layer effects. For this arrangement a perfect regularity of vortex shedding and almost constant Strouhal number were achieved in the Reynolds number test range of about 250 to 43,000.On a leave from Technical University, 60965 Poznan, Piotrowo 3, Poland.     

Dependence of micro-drop generation performance on dispenser geometry

In this paper, the drop generation performance, represented by the speed of generation and the attainable size range of drops, of λ-junction type micro (∼100 μm) dispensers was examined for various heights, widths and fluid injection angles quantitatively. Target range of drops was about the same size of the channel hydraulic diameter (0.8–1.2 D_h,c) that is known to be most efficient for internal mixing of different components within micro-drops. Viscosities of the disperse and continuous phases were 2.7 and 2.3 mPa s, respectively. Also, the superficial velocity range of the disperse phase was 0.002–0.128 m/s and that of the continuous phase was 0.02–0.15 m/s. Hence, the corresponding ranges of the capillary and the Reynolds numbers (based on the channel width) of the continuous phase were 0.004–0.034 and 1–32, respectively. Within the present test ranges, the drop generation performance was improved with the smaller width ratio (between the side and the main inlets), and at the aspect ratio of about 0.8 and the injection angle of about 120°. Furthermore, through the detailed observations, the geometrical similarity of the bulged part of the disperse phase was confirmed to exist between the cases with different junction dimensions (widths and height), which is an important clue for prediction of drop sizes.

Vortex breakdown: Transition between bubble- and spiral-type breakdown

Depending on volume flux, flow visualizations in a water tunnel showed bubble-, spiral-type breakdown, and periodic transition between both. The initiation and development of bubble-type breakdown can be explained by a nonlinear feedback model. A growing asymmetry of the circumferential vorticity distribution leads to the transition to spiral-type. These conjectures are supported by experiments in which an artificially generated vortex ring induced initiation of bubble- and transition to spiral-type breakdown. To simulate vortex breakdown Navier-Stokes equations for three-dimensional, unsteady, and incompressible flows were solved. A comparison between experimental and numerical flow visualizations showed a good agreement.

Sommario La visualizzazione del flusso in una galleria idrodinamica mostra, a seconda della portata volumetrica, una rottura delle linee vorticose di tipo a bolle, a spirale oppure una transizione periodica tra queste due. L'inizio ed il successivo sviluppo del fenomeno di rottura a bolla può venire spiegato attraverso un modello non lineare. Successivamente, all'aumentare dell'asimmetria nel profilo della vorticità circonferenziale, si ha la transizione alla rottura a spirale. Queste ipotesi vengono confermate dagli esperimenti in cui l'insorgere di ciascun tipo di rottura viene indotto attraverso un anello vorticoso generato artificalmente. Per analizzare il fenomeno della rottura delle linee vorticose sono state risolte le equazioni di Navier-Stokes per un flusso incomprimibile, tridimensionale, non stazionario. I risultati numerici ottenuti si sono mostrati in buon accordo con le visualizzazioni sperimentali.

Weissenberg effect and its dependence upon the experimental geometry

The flow of a second-order fluid with a free surface between two coaxially mounted cylinders of finite length, the inner one of which is rotating, is being studied. In the case of slow flow and small shear rates the flow can be divided into a primary flow in the plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation and a secondary flow in the meridional plane. These flow components are numerically calculated and the results are compared with the analytical results for the semi-infinite cylinder approximation. The influence of the finiteness of the cylinders (end effect) upon the free surface deformation is analysed. The numerical results for the secondary flow are compared with results obtained by flow visualisation.

Effect of Volume Energy Supply on the Stability of a Subsonic Vortex Flow

Calculations of the stability of an axisymmetric vortex flow of viscous heat-conducting gas with volume energy supply are presented. The unperturbed axisymmetric vortex flow was found numerically using a quasi-cylindrical approximation of the Navier-Stokes equations under the assumption of constant peripheral-velocity circulation in the ambient co-current flow. The volume energy supply in the viscous vortex core was modeled by an additional source term in the energy equation. The stability characteristics of the viscous vortex flow in a longitudinal vortex with respect to both axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric three-dimensional waves traveling along the vortex axis and corresponding to both positive and negative values of the azimuthal wave number were found using the time-dependent formulation of the linear stability theory for compressible three-dimensional plane-parallel flows.     

Vortex stripping and the generation of high vorticity gradients in two-dimensional flows

We study the stripping of vortices with monotonic vorticity profiles within adverse shear. It is shown that distributed vortices behave differently from uniform patches regarding the critical onset of tearing. Stripping erodes the exterior layers of a distributed profile and generates very high vorticity gradients at the edge of the vortex. These effects are measured, and a theory which allows a detailed quantification of the mechanism is presented.     

Numerical simulation on magnetic confinement characteristics of internal vortex electrostatic cyclone precipitator under different working voltages

Aiming at improving the capture performance of internal vortex electrostatic cyclone precipitator (ECP), a theoretical model with mechanics-electric-magnetic coupling was established, the collection efficiency of magnetic confinement ECP under different working voltages was simulated, and the influence of magnetic flux intensity on the removal performance of submicron particles was explored. Results show that the number of particles escaped from the cyclone is greatly reduced after the introduction of magnetic field and electric field, indicating that charging effect and magnetic confinement are more conductive to trap submicron particles in the internal vortex ECP. The lower the working voltage is, the worse the charging lifting effect is, but the stronger the magnetic confinement characteristics are. Furthermore, the contributions of charging effect to collection efficiency and magnetic confinement characteristics are more obvious at a weaker magnetic flux density. The research results can provide a practical new idea for the innovative design of ECP.
