Boundary Zonal Flow in Rotating Turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard Convection
Xuan Zhang, Dennis P. M. van Gils, Susanne Horn +7
For rapidly rotating turbulent Rayleigh--Bénard convection in a slender cylindrical cell, experiments and direct numerical simulations reveal a boundary zonal flow (BZF) that repla…
Twente Mass and Heat Transfer Water Tunnel: Temperature controlled turbulent multiphase channel flow with heat and mass transfer
Biljana Gvozdić, On-Yu Dung, Dennis P. M. van Gils +5
A new vertical water tunnel with global temperature control and the possibility for bubble and local heat & mass injection has been designed and constructed. The new facility offer…
Experimental investigation of heat transport in homogeneous bubbly flow
Biljana Gvozdic, Elise Almeras, Varghese Mathai +6
We present results on the global and local characterisation of heat transport in homogeneous bubbly flow. Experimental measurements were performed with and without the injection of…
Optimal Taylor-Couette flow: Radius ratio dependence
Rodolfo Ostilla Monico, Sander G. Huisman, Tim J. G. Jannink +5
Taylor-Couette flow with independently rotating inner (i) and outer (o) cylinders is explored numerically and experimentally to determine the effects of the radius ratio η on the s…
The importance of bubble deformability for strong drag reduction in bubbly turbulent Taylor-Couette flow
Dennis P. M. van Gils, Daniela Narezo Guzman, Chao Sun +1
Bubbly turbulent Taylor-Couette (TC) flow is globally and locally studied at Reynolds numbers of Re = 5 x 10^5 to 2 x 10^6 with a stationary outer cylinder and a mean bubble diamet…
Ultimate Turbulent Taylor-Couette Flow
Sander G. Huisman, Dennis P. M. van Gils, Siegfried Grossmann +2
The flow structure of strongly turbulent Taylor-Couette flow with Reynolds numbers up to Re_i = 2*10^6 of the inner cylinder is experimentally examined with high-speed particle ima…
The Twente turbulent Taylor-Couette (T3C) facility: Strongly turbulent (multiphase) flow between two independently rotating cylinders
Dennis P. M. van Gils, Gert-Wim Bruggert, Daniel P. Lathrop +2
A new turbulent Taylor-Couette system consisting of two independently rotating cylinders has been constructed. The gap between the cylinders has a height of 0.927 m, an inner radiu…
Torque Scaling in Turbulent Taylor-Couette Flow with Co- and Counterrotating Cylinders
Dennis P. M. van Gils, Sander G. Huisman, Gert-Wim Bruggert +2
We analyze the global transport properties of turbulent Taylor-Couette flow in the strongly turbulent regime for independently rotating outer and inner cylinders, reaching Reynolds…
