Abstract

Buoyancy-induced flows in many industrial and natural processes are significantly affected by rotation. The effects of pipe axial rotation on flow patterns and front dynamics of buoyant miscible exchange flows are studied experimentally and numerically. With increasing rotation speed, the flow pattern is experimentally shown to transition from a slumping interface to complete transverse mixing. To complement experimental observations, specific simulations provide a cross-sectional view of the pipe, in which the front dynamics is shown to change as the rotation speed increases.
