Abstract

Viscous flows in the cylinder-disk system have been investigated theoretically and experimentally, over a broad range of Reynolds numbers Re, H/RT, and Rk/RT in order to explore the characteristics of the flow, which is a function of time, the depth of the liquid, the Reynolds number, the radii of the disk and the cylinder, and their geometry (flat, convex or concave disk). The results of comparing the data of numerical and laboratory simulations are presented. The appearance of secondary eddies in the axial region at large Reynolds numbers has been detected and diagrams of flows of different spatial configuration constructed.
