This experimental study is devoted to the description of the different patterns resulting from
instabilities which appear in the flow between a rotating and a stationary disk enclosed by a …

This chapter reviews striking features of boundary-layer instabilities induced by different
mechanisms and related to transition to turbulence in rotating flows with walls. Besides its …

The destabilization of the stationary basic flow occurring between two disks enclosed by a
cylinder is studied experimentally when the radius of the disks is large compared to the …

This work is devoted to the experimental study of the transition to turbulence of a flow
confined in a narrow gap between a rotating and a stationary disk. When the fluid layer …

The stability of a traveling roll system, which results from the development of a primary
instability of the flow between a stationary and a rotating disk, is experimentally studied. The …

We present axisymmetric numerical simulations of transitional and chaotic flow regimes in
rotor–stator cavities of radial aspect ratio approximately 8. These simulations are carried out …

Nous étudions ici expérimentalement l'écoulement de von Kármán, produit dans un cylindre
entre deux turbines coaxiales. Nous nous plaçons plus particulièrement en régime de …

Cette étude expérimentale et numérique porte sur la caractérisation des écoulements de
type rotor-stator soumis à un flux axial selon deux angles: turbulence et stabilité. De …

From visualizations and velocity measurements, we study the formation of new spiral
patterns at the periphery of a rotor-stator cavity when an axial inward throughflow is …

The purpose of this paper is to study the range of existence, the process of transition and the
phase velocity of the spiral structure in an aspirated rotor–stator cavity. Experience shows …
