Since the seminal work of Taylor in 1923, Taylor–Couette (TC) flow has served as a
paradigm to study hydrodynamic instabilities and bifurcation phenomena. Transitions of …

Transesterification is a preferred reaction in biodiesel production using oil and alcohol as
feedstocks. The major limitation of biodiesel production is the immiscibility of reactants …

This paper describes and discusses a numerical approach to predict windage losses inside
high-speed permanent magnets synchronous machines. The air flow is thoroughly analyzed …

The present paper concerns Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) of turbulent Taylor-Couette-
Poiseuille flows in a narrow-gap cavity for six different combinations of rotational and axial …

In the present work, turbulent flow in the annulus of a counter-rotating Taylor-Couette
(CRTC) system is studied using large-eddy simulation. The numerical methodology …

From 28 high-order DNS computations, one investigates the formation of instabilities due to
the strong competition between an azimuthal flow induced by rotation and an axial flow due …

The paper presents the results of an experimental study of the process of dissipative heating
of fluid in a multi-cylinder Couette-Taylor system with independently rotating smooth …

The present study involves direct numerical simulation of turbulent Taylor–Couette flow
undergoing orthogonal rotation (gravity and rotation axis are perpendicular) subject to …

Engineering systems operating under particle-laden turbulent flow regimes, such as slurry
pumps, are prone to erosive wear, where the specific conditions of particle im**ement are …

Fully turbulent Taylor–Couette flow between independently rotating cylinders is investigated
experimentally in a wide-gap configuration (. Based on our study it becomes clear that the …
