Hydrodynamic structure of viscous flows in rotating convergent-divergent channels

Abstract

The results of the numerical calculations of isothermal viscous flows in convergent-divergent channels axially rotating at a constant angular velocity are presented. With reference to the example of the calculations performed at Re = 2000 the difference in the flowfields in a fixed channel and that rotating at an angular velocity Ω₀ = 10 s⁻¹ in analyzed. The results of the calculations of viscous flows in convergent-divergent channels at Re = 2000 and Ω₀ = 10 s⁻¹ are also presented.
