The objective of the present study is to investigate experimentally the mean flow characteristics of the three-dimensional turbulent boundary layer over a rotating disk with an impinging jet at the center of the disk, which may be regarded as one of the simplest models for the flow in turbomachinery. A relatively strong radial outflow (crossflow) generated from the impinging jet is added to the radial outflow (crossflow) induced by the centrifugal force in order to create the three-dimensional boundary layer. A new calibration technique has been introduced to determine the velocity direction and magnitude using an I-wire probe, where the uncertainties are ${\pm}1.5^{\circ}$ and ${\pm}0.35\;m/s$, respectively, in the laminar boundary layer region, compared with the known exact solutions. The flow in the tangential direction is of similar type to that associated with a favorable pressure gradient, considering that no wake region appears in wall coordinate velocity profiles and the Clauser shape factor is between 4.0 and 5.3. The flow angle is significantly changed by the crossflow generated by the impinging jet.

Development of thin carbon nanotubes (CNTs) nanoliquid film over the rough surface of a horizontal rotating disk is investigated by considering symmetric roughness either along the azimuthal or radial directions. The disk surface is either heated or cooled axisymmetrically from below. The effects of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are analyzed on the film thinning process with different types of base liquids. Closed form solutions for velocity and temperature field are obtained for small values of Reynolds number whereas the numerical solution is derived for moderate values of Reynolds number. It is found that fluid retention / depletion takes place when the roughness is symmetric along the azimuthal / radial directions. It is also seen that the film thinning rate enhances for MWCNTs compare to SWCNTs. Further it is found that two different heat transfer regions exits within the flow domain depending on the fact that heat is transferred from disk to liquid film and vice-versa.

The present study describes the prediction of the flow induced noise level of a high-speed rotating hexagonal disk and proposes the way how to reduce it. Since a hexagonal disk, which is used in the laser printer and named a Polygon mirror, has six sharp corners, there are low and high pressure regions on each of six edges when it rotates. Therefore, the pressure difference generates three dimension flow field and causes aerodynamic noise. The Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings (FWH) method is employed for the analysis. We have measured the sound pressure levels and compared them with the computational results. The calculated sound pressure levels agree well with the experimental results. We modified the shape of the edges of a hexagonal disk to reduce the noise level and confirm their effects through numerical computation.

A study has been made on how to occur inertial oscillations in a rotating flow. The flow is considered to be induced by differentially-rotating top and bottom disks with infinite radius. The top and bottom disks are assumed to be set in motion over a finite initial start-up time duration from initial solid body rotation ($\Omega$) to each finial state, i.e., the top disk is rotating at the angular velocity (${\Omega}+{\Delta}{\Omega}$) and the bottom disk (${\Omega}-{\Delta}{\Omega}$). The system Reynolds number, which is a reciprocal of conventional Ekman number in rotating flows, is very high so that a boundary layer flow near disks is pronounced. From a strict theoretical analysis, it is clearly found the fact that inertial oscillation in a rotating flow is caused by excessive input of torque during start-up phase. Above finding comes from the following physics of theoretical result: in the case of abrupt start-up within very shorter time-duration than spin-up time scale, the inertial oscillation is magnified but it could be completely depressed in the case of mildly accelerated start-up, i.e., start-up process being established over diffusion time scale.

A shrouded rotating disk airflow has a simple figure on geometric basis, but has various and complicated forms of flow. This flow type can be applied to many turbo devices such as information storage device(optical disk). Circumferential velocity frequency in the middle plane between disk and shroud wall is measured using laser Doppler velocimeter. Solid body region of flow was founded when low Reynolds number relatively. Through the informations of the experimental results. we could examine the number and distribution of the vortices. When Reynolds number $3.80{\times}10^5$ there is a dominant frequency of which vortices number is 5.

This work presents the variation of formic acid oxidation on Pt depending on hydrodynamic condition using a rotating disk electrode. As the rotating speed increases, the oxidation rate of formic acid decreases under voltammetric and chronoamperometric measurements. The coverages of poison formed from formic acid during the chronoamperomertric investigations decrease when the rotating speed increases. As the roughness factor of Pt electrode surface increases, on the other hand, the current density of formic acid oxidation increases. These observations are discussed in terms of the tangential flow along Pt electrode surfaces generated by the rotating disk electrode, which reduces a contact time between formic acid and a Pt site, thus the formic acid adsorption.

Numerical analysis has been conducted to characterize deposition rates of aerosol particles onto a heated, rotating disk with electrostatic effect under the laminar flow field. The particle transport mechanisms considered were convection, Brownian diffusion, gravitational settling, thermophoresis and electrophoresis. The aerosol particles were assumed to have a Boltzmann charge distribution. The electric potential distribution needed to calculate local electric fields around the disk was calculated from the Laplace equation. The Coulomb, the image, the dielectrophoretic and the dipole-dipole forces acting on a charged particle near the conducting rotating disk were included in the analysis. The averaged particle deposition vetocities and their radial distributions on the upper surface of the disk were calculated from the particle concentration equation in a Eulerian frame of reference, along with a rotation speed of 0∼1,000rpm, a temperature difference of 0∼5K and a charged disk voltage of 0∼1000V.Finally, an approximate deposition velocity model for the rotating disk was suggested. The present numerical results showed relatively good agreement with the results of the present approximate model and the available experimental data.

Numerical analysis was conducted to characterize particle deposition on a horizontal rotating disk with thermophorectic effect under laminar flow field. The particle transport mechanisms considered were convection, Brownian diffusion, gravitational settling and thermophoresis. The averaged particle deposition velocities and their radial distributions for the upper surface of the disk were calculated from the particle concentration equation in a Eulerian frame of reference for rotating speeds of 0∼1000rpm and temperature differences of 0∼5K. It was observed from the numerical results that the rotation effect of disk increased the averaged deposition velocities, and enhanced the uniformity of local deposition velocities on the upper surface compared with those of the disk at rest. It was also shown that the heating of the disk with ΔT=5K decreased deposition velocity over a fairly broad range of particle sizes. Finally, an approximate deposition velocity model for the rotating disk was suggested. The comparison of the present numerical results with the results of the approximate model and the available experimental results showed relatively good agreement between them.

An experimental study has been performed on a three-dimensional boundary layer over a rotating disk with an impinging jet at the center of the disk. The objective of the present study is to investigate the turbulence statistics of the three-dimensional turbulent boundary layer, which may be regarded as one of the simplest models for the flow in turbomachinery. Six components of the Reynolds stresses and ten triple products are measured by aligning the miniature X-wire probe to the mean velocity direction. The ratio of the wall-parallel shear stress magnitude to twice the turbulent kinetic energy in the near-wall region is strongly decreased by the impinging jet. In the case of the free rotating disk flow the shear stress vector lags behind the mean velocity gradient vector in the whole boundary layer, while the lag is weakened as the impinging jet speed increases.
