Bhl. Gowda et al., INFLUENCE OF VIBRATION IN THE HORIZONTAL PLANE ON DISCHARGE OF LIQUIDFROM A CYLINDRICAL TANK, INDIAN JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING AND MATERIALS SCIENCES, 4(3), 1997, pp. 92-101
In this paper, the influence of vibration in the horizontal plane on t
he phenomenon of vortexing during draining of liquid from a cylindrica
l container is described. The studies are carried out when vibration i
s imparted without and with initial rotation. Flow visualisation resul
ts are presented which give a visual picture of the phenomenon. The in
vestigation brings out that the vortexing phenomenon can be quite diff
erent from the case when the vibration occurs in the vertical plane.
