Flow structure in a vortex chamber

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The structure of a swirl flow in a vortex chamber is studied. Distributions of the azimuthal and axial components of velocity are obtained almost in the entire volume of the chamber. A pattern of streamlines of this flow is constructed, and the mechanism of the emergence of a reverse flow directed toward the closed end face of the chamber is identified.
