Numerical simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer in a rotating cylindrical container with a counter-rotating disk at the fluid surface
The effects of disk rotations and Prandtl numbers on fluid flow and heat transfer in a rotating cylindrical container with a counter-rotating disk at the fluid surface are numerically investigated. Flow and temperature fields are obtained for various rotational Reynolds numbers of the disk and for Prandtl numbers of the fluid. From the temperature fields the averaged Nusselt numbers on the walls are calculated and are compared with available experimental data.
