A note on swirling flows
Abstract
A simplified theoretical analysis of swirling flows that enables diffusivities of mass and momentum to be evaluated from mean concentration and velocity profiles is developed. The results of a few experiments on swirling flows in an annulus are presented and the diffusivities of mass and momentum are calculated on the basis of the simplified theory. The results appear to provide a reasonable first estimate.
