Classical Types of Taylor Vortices
Laminar Couette Flow
According to the stability analysis without considering the viscous, the flow inside the cylinders should be always instable when outer cylinder is kept fixed. However, viscosity has an important stabilizing influence at low Reynolds numbers. Stability will be broken only if the angular velocity of inner cylinder exceeds a critical value.
![Page 4: Content Classical Types of Taylor Vortices Important Parameters Mesh Independence Study Taylor-Couette Validation Wavy Taylor Validation Turbulent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649ec45503460f94bcde69/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Classical Types of Taylor Vortices
Taylor vortex forms when Re exceeds Rec
When the angular velocity of the inner cylinder is increased above a certain threshold, Couette laminar flow becomes unstable and a secondary steady state characterized by axis-symmetric toroidal vortices, known as Taylor vortex flow, emerges.
![Page 5: Content Classical Types of Taylor Vortices Important Parameters Mesh Independence Study Taylor-Couette Validation Wavy Taylor Validation Turbulent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649ec45503460f94bcde69/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Classical Types of Taylor Vortices
Wavy taylor vortex forms when Re exceeds Rec2
Subsequently increasing the angular speed of the cylinder the system undergoes a progression of instabilities which lead to states with greater spatio-temporal complexity, with the next state being called as Wavy Vortex Flow. The rotational speed approximately 20% higher than the critical speed for transition to Taylor vortices.

Classical Types of Taylor Vortices
Chaotic Flow Happens Before Fully Turbulence
The flow undergoes a series of transitions before it becomes fully turbulent. By using spectral method, there is only one peak at the initial period of the wavy vortex flow, while more peaks will be formed when Re is increasing, this period is called Chaotic Flow until no peaks appear.

Important Parameters η
Critical Reynolds number for forming taylor vortices is strongly influenced by the radius ratio of two cylinders.
![Page 9: Content Classical Types of Taylor Vortices Important Parameters Mesh Independence Study Taylor-Couette Validation Wavy Taylor Validation Turbulent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649ec45503460f94bcde69/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Important Parameters
Aspect ratio
It is noted that aspect ratio is expected to have little effect on the quantitative behavior of the flow for aspect ratios above 40. [J.A. Cole 1976]
![Page 10: Content Classical Types of Taylor Vortices Important Parameters Mesh Independence Study Taylor-Couette Validation Wavy Taylor Validation Turbulent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649ec45503460f94bcde69/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Important Parameters
Axial wavelength & Wave number
[D. Coles (1965)] entailed the observation of different flow states with the same Taylor number and concluded that the flow depends not only on Re, but also on previous flow history. The states are defined by number of axial and azimuth waves.
![Page 11: Content Classical Types of Taylor Vortices Important Parameters Mesh Independence Study Taylor-Couette Validation Wavy Taylor Validation Turbulent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649ec45503460f94bcde69/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Important Parameters
Wave speed
[KIKG,G. P. (1984)] concluded that there was much weaker dependence of wave speed on axial wavelength, azimuthally wave number, and the aspect ratio.
![Page 12: Content Classical Types of Taylor Vortices Important Parameters Mesh Independence Study Taylor-Couette Validation Wavy Taylor Validation Turbulent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649ec45503460f94bcde69/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Important Parameters Flow structure
[M. Fenot (2011)] concluded that the structure of the combined flow in annular space hinges not only on the operation point (axial Reynolds and Taylor numbers), but also – and strongly- on geometry and, to a lesser degree, on parietal thermal condition.
![Page 13: Content Classical Types of Taylor Vortices Important Parameters Mesh Independence Study Taylor-Couette Validation Wavy Taylor Validation Turbulent.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649ec45503460f94bcde69/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Mesh Independence Study
Objectives & Methodology After comparing with
experiment data, we can find the minimum mesh density that can appropriately simulate the physical phenomenon. With such confidence, a more reasonable mesh structure would be selected as a final reference for the later mesh building.
All the boundary conditions are kept the same with changing the mesh grid numbers only.
The length was cut into half to save computing time.

Taylor-Couette Validation
Objectives & Methodology After comparing with the
experiment data from J.E. Burkhalter & E.L. koschmieder (1974) and check wavelength versus taylor number. We shall confirm that fluent is able to simulate the Taylor- Couette phenomena. λ

Taylor-Couette Validation
Boundary Conditions
Since author have mentioned that neither the end wall nor the column length have significant influence on the experiment result, so we kept the same boundary condition with former mesh independence study, only changing the Taylor number which is exact a non-dimension value.

Taylor-Couette Validation Conclusion
From above figure, we tried both full length and half length geometries to run cases with different taylor numbers. The results under 8Tc are well fit with the experiment data. Those above 8Tc are absolutely among the wavy taylor vortices period which will possibly cause the unstable measurement for the wavelength. However, the discrepancy is acceptable

Wavy Taylor Validation Objectives & Methodology
Taking KIKG,G. P., Lr, Y ., LEE, W., SWINNEY, H. L. & MARCUS, P.S . 1984 Wave speeds in wavy Taylor-vortex flow. J . Fluid Mech. 141, 365-390. as the reference paper to compare with. Check wave speed versus different radius ratio which is the most significant factor.
Set measure point located in the gap centre from 2D cross section view to record the z-velocity during the time interval which can derive the fundamental frequency of the azimuthal waves. m can be observed by applying Tecplot to stretch out the cylinder.

Turbulent Validation Objectives & Methodology
Comparison of normalized mean angular momentum profiles between presentsimulation (Re=8000) and the experiment of Smith & Townsend (1982).
Using two models (k-epsilon and k-omega) to compare with the experiment data (left), after which an appropriate model would be selected for later calculation.
Couple of measure points are located in the midline across the gap from 2D view of the cross section. They are applied to record the tangential velocity during time interval and calculate the average value.

Thermal Validation Objectives & Methodology
Variation of mean equivalent conductivity with Reynolds number for different Grashof numbers
By comparing with experiment data from K.S. Ball (1989) , we would confirm the capability of fluent on simulating the heat transfer for taylor-couette flow.
We simplified the condition by ignore the effect of both conduction and radiation which will cause at most 5% error but saving much calculating time. Average heat transfer coefficient in the inner cylinder surface can be directly achieved from fluent.

Possible Reasons for Difference
Boundary condition set-up
ideal gas, pressure based, real apparatus error (axial temperature gradient, end walls effect)
“This discrepancy arises because of the variation of axial wave length with axial distance, which results from the thermal conditions at the ends of the experimental apparatus.” [R. Kedia (1997)]

R1 = 96.85 mmR2 = 97.5 mmHeight = 140 mm Q=4 L/min Vin= 0.000168 m/sTin = 308K Tout= 551KΩ=29.311 rad/sEnd walls are fixed and insulated
Measure points are located in the vertical lines close to the inner cylinder.
Since for η=0.975 Rec= 260.978,In this case Re=1837.075So, it is in laminar mode.

Plans for Next Period
Keep running both of the turbulent cases
Finish the thermal validation
Repeat Taylor-couette validation with full length
Wavy validation should be finished with running 0.95 case long enough
More validation of the thermal part (optional)
Keep turbulent case running
Finish simple model test
