Heat transfer continues to be a major field of interest to engineering and scientific
researchers, as well as designers, developers, and manufacturers. The wealth of …

A computational study of a brushless DC motor is presented to determine the thermo-flow
characteristics in the windings and bearings under the effects of heat generation. The …

Linear stability analysis predicts that a radial throughflow in a Taylor–Couette system will
alter the stability of the flow, but the underlying physics for the stabilization of the flow is …

The endwalls in a Taylor–Couette cell introduce adjacent boundary layers that interact with
the centrifugal instability. We investigate the interaction between the endwall Ekman layers …

In preparation for an experimental study of magnetorotational instability (MRI) in liquid metal,
we explore Couette flows having height comparable to the gap between cylinders …

This paper presents a numerical method to determine the mass transfer coefficients in the
dissolution of dense ceramics in liquid slags. Simulations are based on a typical rotating …

The definition of Reynolds number (Re) in a Taylor-Couette flow for a shear-thinning fluid is
discussed in this paper. Since the shear-thinning property causes spatial distribution of fluid …

Imposing axial flow in the annulus and/or radial flow through the cylindrical walls in a Taylor–
Couette system alters the stability of the flow. Theoretical methods and numerical …

The accurate prediction of fluid flow within rotating systems has a primary role for the
reliability and performance of rotating machineries. The selection of a suitable model to …

Differentially rotating cylinders result in a rich variety of vortical flows for cylindrical Couette
flow. In this study we investigate the case of a short, finite-length cavity with counter-rotating …
