Ph.D. (Engg):Effect of rotation on the flow organisation and instability of a slender spinning body across quiescent, axial and compressible regimes
A body of revolution spinning in a fluid drives an inherently three-dimensional boundary layer, in which a centrifugally driven secondary circulation lifts the layer off the surface and a centrifugal instability carries it into transition. Most of what is known about this flow comes from single geometries (the rotating disk, the isolated cone or cylinder) […]
