Beschreibung:
Laser-Doppler velocity measurements were obtained in water between finite rotating disks, with and without throughflow, in four cases: ω1= ω2= 0; ω2/ω1=- 1; ω2/ω1=0; ω2/ω1= 1. The equilibrium flows are unique, and at mid-radius they show a high degree of independence from boundary conditions in r. With one disk rotating and the other stationary, this mid-radius ‘limiting flow ’ is recognized as the Batchelor profile of infinite-disk theory. Other profiles, predicted by this theory to coexist with the Batchelor profile, were neither observed experimentally nor were they calculated numerically by the finite-disk solutions, obtained here via a Galerkin, B-spline formulation. Agreement on velocity between numerical results and experimental data is good at large values of the ratio RQ/Re, where Rq= Q/2πVs Is the throughflow Reynolds number and Re= R22ω/v is the rotational Reynolds number. © 1983, Cambridge University Press.
