Abstract: In this paper, results of a flow visualization study on the flow around a square cylinder with corner chamfering are presented. The corners of the test cylinders were chamfered with each corner forming a triangle with ...

Abstract: A passive control means to suppress flow-induced motions (FIM) of a rigid circular cylinder in the TrSL3, high-lift, flow regime is formulated and tested experimentally. The developed method ...

Abstract: This paper reports an experimental study on the combined effect of drain port eccentricity and port diameter on air core vortex formation in a cylindrical tank with a rotating liquid column. The study is motivated by the ...

Abstract: This paper reports on an experimental study motivated by the issue of vortex formation in fuel tanks of liquid propulsion rockets. In this study, vortex funnel (vortex-air core) formation during draining of liquids from ...
