Finite-sized rigid spheres in turbulent Taylor-Couette flow
Dennis Bakhuis, Ruben A. Verschoof, Varghese Mathai +3
We report on the modification of drag by neutrally buoyant spherical particles in highly turbulent Taylor-Couette flow. These particles can be used to disentangle the effects of si…
Air cavities at the inner cylinder of turbulent Taylor-Couette flow
Ruben A. Verschoof, Dennis Bakhuis, Pim A. Bullee +3
Air cavities, i.e. air layers developed behind cavitators, are seen as a promising drag reducing method in the maritime industry. Here we utilize the Taylor-Couette (TC) geometry,…
Turbulence strength in ultimate Taylor-Couette turbulence
Rodrigo Ezeta, Sander G. Huisman, Chao Sun +1
We provide experimental measurements for the effective scaling of the Taylor-Reynolds number within the bulk , based on local flow quantities as a functi…
Periodically driven Taylor-Couette turbulence
Ruben A. Verschoof, Arne K. te Nijenhuis, Sander G. Huisman +2
We study periodically driven Taylor-Couette turbulence, i.e. the flow confined between two concentric, independently rotating cylinders. Here, the inner cylinder is driven sinusoid…
