Using the present simulations we aim to explore the emergence of the torque maximum for moderate counter-rotation and intermediate Reynolds numbers.
We plan to perform simulations to study the angular velocity current for a radius ratio of 0.5 which is currently investigated experimentally at the BTU Cottbus.
This enables further comparisons between numerical and experimental observations and may provide insights to the radius ratio dependence of the characteristics of the current.
To conduct measurements of the turbulent velocity fluctuations and pressure transients and to construct profiles of Reynolds stresses and their anisotropies within puff, splitting puff and slug structures, and the probability, lifetime, propagation speeds of those transitional structures.
To investigate the generation of TW of different types in the low Re range by the selection of proper disturbance parameters with the help of optimization algorithms. This study reveals the border between stable laminar states of the flow and the chaotic turbulent states of the flow, and the connection between the disturbance and the shapes of TW. As a result, each type can be generated reproducibly and studied separately. Ultimately, the path toward transition can be better described.
To investigate the velocity field and its statistics within the transitional structures, especially in TW, in order to establish the connection between findings made for laminar TW structures and for the turbulent puff and slug structures.
