Wave Mixing in a System of Mobile Coaxial Cylinders

Abstract

Computer simulation of mixing in a system of mobile coaxial cylinders has been performed. Detailed spatial and temporal patterns of the processes occurring are obtained, and the main structures in the flow field are determined. A method for profiling the rotor is proposed based on analysis of singularities of the flow-velocity vector field. Similarity numbers are introduced, which allow one to pass from laboratory bench systems to real commercial apparatuses.
