Fluid flow and convective heat transfer in rotor-stator configurations, which are of great
importance in different engineering applications, are treated in details in this review. The …

This article reviews the range of flows that may be created within thin cylindrical or annular
cavities due to the rotation of one of the confining disks. At low Reynolds numbers, the …

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 …

Rotating Thermal Flows in Natural and Industrial Processes provides the reader with a
systematic description of the different types of thermal convection and flow instabilities in …

The flow field of an open grooved two-disc system was studied. The system includes a
rotating finite disc and a stationary finite disc. The rotating disc has radial grooves. The …

The flow induced by rotating discs has attracted some of the greatest minds in fluid dynamics
like von Kármán and Batchelor, and still is a vigorously active research area. In comparison …

The flow produced in an enclosed cylinder of height-to-radius ratio of two by the counter-
rotation of the top and bottom disks is numerically investigated. When the Reynolds number …

Rotor-stator cavity flows are known to exhibit unsteady flow structures in the form of circular
and spiral rolls. While the origin of the spirals is well understood, that of the circular rolls is …

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 …

The flow between two rotating disks (radius to heigh ratio of 20.9), enclosed by a rotating
cylinder, is investigated experimentally in the cases of both co-and counter-rotation. This …
