T. Inamuro et al., NUMERICAL-SIMULATION OF FLUID-FLOW AND HE AT-TRANSFER IN A ROTATING CYLINDRICAL CONTAINER WITH A COUNTER-ROTATING DISK AT THE FLUID SURFACE, Kagaku kogaku ronbunshu, 23(6), 1997, pp. 789-795
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.
