Abstract
In this paper, axisymmetric bulk flow patterns generated by moderate disk rotation and counter-rotation inside a coaxial disk-cylinder configuration with a fixed aspect ratio are obtained both experimentally and numerically. Experimental results are based on chronophotographic visualization and image processing techniques, while numerical results are computed using the full stationary Navier-Stokes equations assuming two different dynamic boundary conditions (no-slip and meridional free-slip) for all rigid walls. A comparative analysis between both numerical distributing and the patterns obtained experimentally is carried out in terms of streamfunction and vorticity meridional distributions.
