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 …

Studied for more than a century, first in the field of geophysics, flows over rotating discs
present a great diversity of complex instability behaviours that are not yet fully understood …

Turbulent flow and heat transfer in a rotor–stator cavity have fundamental importance in both
academia of turbulence research and the industry of rotating turbomachinery. The main …

A robust and fully predictive mathematical representation has been derived to predict the
swirl ratio, pressure, and torque in enclosed rotor–stator cavities. For the flow regime of …

This paper addresses limitations of widely used Reynolds-averaged turbulence models
(RANS) for prediction of gas turbine internal air systems. Results from direct numerical …

Numerous studies have indicated that turbulence typically initiates along the boundary layer
of the stationary disk within a rotor–stator cavity. To describe the transition process to …

Code_Saturne, an open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, has been applied
to a range of problems related to turbomachinery internal air systems. These include a …

In this work, computational fluid dynamics are used to study the hydrodynamics in a
complete rotor–stator spinning disk reactor with throughflow. Large-eddy simulations of …

This paper presents a numerical study of non-isothermal flow and heat transfer in an
enclosed rotor–stator disk cavity. Wall-resolved large-eddy simulation is implemented with …
