Abstract
Unsteady and steady flow in a cylindrical chamber with a rotating cover has been studied for two Reynolds numbers and three aspect ratio values. The structure of the velocity and pressure fields in the apparatus is described. Primary and secondary volumetric flow rates and torque coefficients are also calculated for all six cases solved.

Observations of the flow produced in a cylindrical container by a rotating endwall

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the laser-induced fluorescence technique to detect the steady swirling flow produced in a closed cylindrical container completely full of fluid (a glycerine/water mixture for the experiments reported here).

Axisymmetric vortex breakdown with and without temperature effects in a container with a rotating lid

TL;DR: In this paper, a flow circulation in a closed circular-cylindrical container is produced by a rotating lid, and after a transient phase from an initial state at rest a steady flow situation is reached for a certain parameter range.

Direct numerical simulation of rotating fluid flow in a closed cylinder

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present numerical simulations of the transition scenario of a rotating fluid flow in a closed cylinder, where the motion is created by a rotating lid and the vortex dynamics appears as stretching, folding and squeezing of flow structures which wave along the contour of a central vortex core.

Radial inflow between a rotating and a stationary disc

TL;DR: In this paper, the flow in a rotor-stator system with a small clearance can be divided into two boundary layers and a central zone where the governing equations exhibit two distinct solutions: one referring to the case of radial inflow, and another corresponding to no superposed flow.

The use of Stokes' fundamental solution for the boundary only element formulation of the three‐dimensional Navier–Stokes equations for moderate Reynolds numbers

TL;DR: In this paper, a boundary element formulation for the Navier-Stokes equations was presented, in which the well-known closed-form fundamental solution for the steady Stokes equations is employed.
