Description:
This paper presents the results of experimental studies of a collapsing cylindrical cavity (the convergence of a liquid shell) in a rotating fluid as well as the formation and propagation of a jump (bore) at the interface. The basic parameters of the liquid shell dynamics for a pulsed one-dimensional load are estimated using the equation of cylindrical cavity pulsation in an unbounded fluid. The theoretical model of a rotationally symmetric hydraulic jump moving along the free surface of a hollow vortex is constructed. The jump is simulated by a discontinuous solution of the equations in the long-wave approximation for tornado-like and hollow vortices. For comparison with the experimental data, basic theoretical results are obtained for flows in a hollow vortex with constant circulation and axial velocity varying along the radius of the rotating liquid shell.
