Ultimate turbulent Taylor-Couette flow.
The flow structure of strongly turbulent Taylor-Couette flow with Reynolds numbers up to Re(i)=2×10(6) of the inner cylinder is experimentally examined with high-speed particle image velocimetry (PIV). The wind Reynolds numbers Re(w) of the turbulent Taylor-vortex flow is found to scale as Re(w)∝Ta(1/2), exactly as predicted by Grossmann and Lohse [Phys. Fluids 23, 045108 (2011).] for the ultim...
متن کاملTurbulent Bursts in Couette-Taylor Flow.
We present a physical explanation of turbulent bursts in the flow between concentric, rotating cylinders (Couette-Taylor flow), based on fully resolved direct numerical calculations. The bursts are a temporal oscillation between a spatially laminar flow and turbulence, discovered experimentally by Hamill et al. The onset of turbulence is shown to be due to a linear instability of the spiral flo...
متن کاملLaminar Spirals in the Outer Stationary Cylinder Couette-Taylor System
We present numerical simulations to demonstrate the existence of laminar spiral flows between both finite and infinite length concentric cylinders and finite truncated cones where only the inner wall rotates. The velocities and pressure are calculated by a spectral element/Fourier method. Different gap ratios are investigated. Convergence of the numerical results is shown with reference to flow...
متن کاملScalings and structures in turbulent Couette-Taylor flow.
The scaling of velocity structure functions in Couette-Taylor flow [Lewis and Swinney, Phys. Rev. E 59, 5457 (1999)] is revisited to obtain more accurate values of the scaling exponents for the Reynolds number range investigated, 12,000 to 540,000 (Taylor Reynolds numbers, 34<R(lambda)<220). Systematic convergence of the statistics with increasing sample size is examined, and the uncertainty of...
متن کاملMeasuring nonextensitivity parameters in a turbulent Couette-Taylor flow.
We investigate probability density functions of velocity differences at different distances r measured in a Couette-Taylor flow for a range of Reynolds numbers Re. There is good agreement with the predictions of a theoretical model based on nonextensive statistical mechanics (where the entropies are nonadditive for independent subsystems). We extract the scale-dependent nonextensitivity paramet...
