This work explores a model waterspout: a flow of water and sunflower oil driven by the
rotating lid in a sealed vertical cylindrical container. The experiments reveal the hysteretic …

This experimental study reveals a spectacular and important phenomenon—double vortex
breakdown—in a swirling flow of two immiscible fluids where vortex breakdown bubbles …

This experimental study reveals a counterflow slip at the interface of two immiscible fluids
filling a sealed vertical cylindrical container whose bottom disk rotates while other walls are …

This experimental and numerical study of a two-fluid swirling flow reveals a discontinuity of
the radial velocity at the interface. The motion is driven by the rotating lid in a sealed vertical …

Ionic wind refers to the acceleration of partially ionized air between two high-voltage
electrodes. We study the momentum transfer from ions to air, resulting from ionic wind …

This paper describes the first experimental evidence of the vortex breakdown development
in the lower fluid in a sealed vertical cylindrical container in which two immiscible fluids …

Recent numerical simulations predict the formation of a thin circulation layer (TCL) near the
interface in a steady axisymmetric swirling flow of two immiscible fluids. This phenomenon …

Recent theoretical and numerical studies predict the Moffatt eddies near the interface-wall
intersection in a two-fluid flow. The current work provides the first experimental evidence of …

Steady three-dimensional flows in lid-driven cavities are investigated numerically using a
high-order spectral-element solver for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. The …

This experimental and numerical study discusses the formation of double vortex breakdown
in a swirling flow of two immiscible fluids where new circulation cells evolve in both fluids …
