Experimental observations of vortex breakdown in a rotating lid-driven cavity are presented.
The results show that vortex breakdown for cavities with high aspect ratios is associated with …

The instability of the steady axisymmetric flow in a sealed elongated cylinder, driven by a
rotating end disk, is studied with the help of numerical simulations. It is argued that this …

Taylor–Couette flow is a canonical flow to study Taylor–Görtler (TG) instability or centrifugal
instability and the associated vortices. TG instability has been traditionally associated with …

The topology and the dynamics of Vogel–Escudier flow, which is the flow inside a circular
cylinder with a top rotating lid, are presented in this paper. A three-dimensional direct …

The vortex breakdown bubble in the confined flow generated by a rotating lid in closed
containers with polygonal cross sections was analysed both experimentally and numerically …

The effects of an axial uniform magnetic field on vortex breakdown in the swirling flow, which
is steady, axisymmetric and generated by the rotation of upper lid of an enclosed cylinder …

An extended formulation of the immersed boundary method, which facilitates simulation of
incompressible isothermal and natural convection flows around immersed bodies and which …

This paper reveals the flow topology hidden in the experimental study by Fujimoto and
Takeda [“Topology changes of the interface between two immiscible liquid layers by a …

The onset and nonlinear dynamics of swirling flows in relatively tall cylinders driven by the
rotation of an endwall are studied numerically. These flows are distinguished from the more …

This experimental and numerical work explains why a vortex breakdown bubble first
emerges and then disappears as the fluid rotation speeds up. To this end, we explore a flow …
