Abstract
The effects of disk rotations and Prandtl numbers on fluid flow and he at transfer in a rotating cylindrical container with a counter-rotatin g disk at the fluid surface are numerically investigated. Flow and tem perature fields are obtained for various rotational Reynolds numbers o f the disk and for Prandtl numbers of the fluid. From the temperature fields the averaged Nusselt numbers on the walls are calculated and ar e compared with available experimental data.
