Piv of a Precessing Cylinder Flow at Large Tilt Angles
Planar particle image velocimetry measurements of the flow in a precessing cylinder are presented for nutation angles of up to 15◦. For a case of a moderate Reynolds number, we observe a rapid transition to a disordered state with a brief appearance of structures of high azimuthal wave numbers. Similarity to observations reported in previous experiments and numerical simulations at much lower t...
متن کاملPrecessing vortex breakdown mode in an enclosed cylinder flow
The flow in a cylinder driven by the rotation of one endwall for height to radius ratios around three is examined. Previous experimental observations suggest that the first mode of instability is a precession of the central vortex core, whereas a recent linear stability analysis to general three-dimensional perturbations suggests a Hopf bifurcation to a rotating wave at lower rotation rates tha...
متن کاملFacilitating dynamo action via control of large-scale turbulence.
The magnetohydrodynamic dynamo effect is considered to be the major cause of magnetic field generation in geo- and astrophysical systems. Recent experimental and numerical results show that turbulence constitutes an obstacle to dynamos; yet its role in this context is not totally clear. Via numerical simulations, we identify large-scale turbulent vortices with a detrimental effect on the amplif...
متن کاملUniversal nonlinear small-scale dynamo.
We consider astrophysically relevant nonlinear MHD dynamo at large Reynolds numbers (Re). We argue that it is universal in a sense that magnetic energy grows at a rate which is a constant fraction C(E) of the total turbulent dissipation rate. On the basis of locality bounds we claim that this "efficiency of the small-scale dynamo", C(E), is a true constant for large Re and is determined only by...
متن کاملElectromotive force and large-scale magnetic dynamo in a turbulent flow with a mean shear.
An effect of sheared large-scale motions on a mean electromotive force in a nonrotating turbulent flow of a conducting fluid is studied. It is demonstrated that in a homogeneous divergence-free turbulent flow the alpha effect does not exist, however a mean magnetic field can be generated even in a nonrotating turbulence with an imposed mean velocity shear due to a "shear-current" effect. A mean...
