Abstract: The paper describes a combined experimental and computational study of laminar and turbulent flow between contrarotating disks. Laminar computations produce Batchelor-type flow: Radial outflow occurs ...

Abstract: This paper describes a combined computational and experimental study of the turbulent flow between two contrarotating disks for −1 ≤ Γ ≤ 0 and Reφ ≈ 1.2 × 106 , where Γ is the ratio ...

Abstract: A superposed radial outflow of air is used to cool two disks that are rotating at equal and opposite speeds at rotational Reynolds numbers up to 1.2 × 106 . One disk, which is heated ...

Abstract: This paper describes a combined experimental and computational study of the heat transfer from an electrically heated disk rotating close to an unheated stator. A radial outflow of cooling air ...

Abstract: This paper describes a combined computational and experimental study of the heat transfer in a rotating cavity with a peripheral inflow and outflow of cooling air for a range of rotational ...
