Abstract

Heat transport in rotating processes finds a wide range of application in which academic issues in the fluid mechanics and heat transfer areas are here reported. This paper discusses successive works from the seminal paper of Taylor (1923) to recent numerical results established from a broad range of methods such as DNS, LES, RANS or LB methods. The flow regimes identification is thus reported in Taylor–Couette geometry. The role of the axial flow rates in the apparition, stabilization and destruction of the large-scale of the turbulent structures is depicted in the case of Taylor–Couette–Poiseuille geometry. In a non-isothermal condition, a discussion is held on the various exponent values found in the scaling relationships relying on the Nusselt number as a function of the Rayleigh or Reynolds numbers according to the regimes of thermal convection.
