Abstract
We studied the vortex formation during drainage of water from a cylindrical vessel. The rate at which the vortex grows into a full funnel was found to depend on the initial velocity field characterized by V θi , the maximum tangential velocity on the free surface and the nozzle location relative to the cylinder axis. We present a simple model to explain the observed results. This work provides important information especially for industrial process, for instance in steel continuous casting process.
