CYCLONIC VORTEX IN A ROTATING LAYER WITH ISOLATED HEAT SOURCE etc15 Tracking Number 199Presentation: Session: Vortex Dynamics 2 Room: Room B Session start: 15:00 Tue 25 Aug 2015 Andrei Sukhanovskii san@icmm.ru Affifliation: Institute of Continuous Media Mechanics UB of RAS, Perm, Russia Anna Evgrafova eav@icmm.ru Affifliation: Institute of Continuous Media Mechanics UB of RAS, Perm, Russia Elena Popova popovadu@icmm.ru Affifliation: Institute of Continuous Media Mechanics UB of RAS, Perm, Russia Topics: - Vortex dynamics and structure formation Abstract: Formation of cyclonic vortex from isolated heat source in a rotating fluid layer was studied experimentally and numerically. It was shown that structure of the vortex strongly depends on main governing parameters such as Grasshof number and Rossby number. PIV measurements were carried out for fluids with different values of Prandtl number (from 40 to 250). Numerical simulations were done using CFD software FlowVision. |
