Abstract
A one-equation model previously tested for parabolic flows and 2-D separate d flows was implemented for rotating flows. Flows in rotor-stator disk syst ems, and in sealed cavities between contrarotating and corotating disks, we re calculated and compared with known experimental and numerical data. For buoyance-driven flow in a rotating cavity, and analytic solution for the tu rbulent regime was obtained. [S0098-2202(00)01302-X].
