Transient turbulence in Taylor-Couette flow.
Recent studies have brought into question the view that at sufficiently high Reynolds number turbulence is an asymptotic state. We present direct observation of the decay of turbulent states in Taylor-Couette flow with lifetimes spanning five orders of magnitude. We also show that there is a regime where Taylor-Couette flow shares many of the decay characteristics observed in other shear flows,...
متن کاملIdentifying coherent structures and vortex clusters in Taylor-Couette turbulence
The nature of the underlying structures in Taylor-Couette (TC) flow, the flow between two co-axial and independently rotating cylinders is investigated by two methods. First, the quadrant analysis technique for identifying structures with intense radial-azimuthal stresses (also referred to as ‘Q’s) of Lozano-Durán et al., (J. Fluid Mech. 694, 100-130) is used to identify the main structures res...
متن کاملTransition to turbulence in Taylor-Couette ferrofluidic flow
It is known that in classical fluids turbulence typically occurs at high Reynolds numbers. But can turbulence occur at low Reynolds numbers? Here we investigate the transition to turbulence in the classic Taylor-Couette system in which the rotating fluids are manufactured ferrofluids with magnetized nanoparticles embedded in liquid carriers. We find that, in the presence of a magnetic field tra...
متن کاملDefect-mediated turbulence in ribbons of viscoelastic Taylor-Couette flow.
Transition to defect-mediated turbulence in the ribbon patterns observed in a viscoelastic Taylor-Couette flow is investigated when the rotation rate of the inner cylinder is increased while the outer cylinder is fixed. In four polymer solutions with different values of the elasticity number, the defects appear just above the onset of the ribbon pattern and trigger the appearance of disordered ...
متن کاملOscillating Taylor-Couette Flow
A flow transition in a coaxial rotating cylinder with only inner cylinder rotation was investigated using ultrasonic Doppler method for a wide range of Reynolds number up to 40 times critical Reynolds number (Rc). By analysing spatio-temporal velocity profiles, excitation functions of various transition modes such as wavy and modulated wavy modes were obtained using space-time Fourier expansion...
