Self-oscillations in the laboratory periodic flow and the linear law for the dissipation rate in the single-frequency range

Аннотация

In this paper, a Reynolds number increase transition from self-oscillations close to single-frequency ones to the temporally chaotic regime in the flow in a cylindrical channel driven by a spatially periodic force with four half-periods is experimentally investigated. The parameter ε proportional to the mean rate of the kinetic energy dissipation in unit mass per unit time associated with perturbations in the fluid is used as a basic characteristic of self-oscillations. The Reynolds number dependence ε(Re) for single frequency self-oscillations is considered theoretically.
