Abstract

The paper presents an experimental study of steady streaming generated by harmonic oscillations of the boundaries of a deformable spherical container. The container is filled with a viscous fluid and its oscillations are produced by means of two linear servo motors, installed symmetrically. The shape of the boundary during deformation is studied by processing images recorded with a high speed camera. The flows are investigated using the particle image velocimetry. In the analysis of results, the focus is made on the relation between the shape of the oscillating boundary, the dimensionless frequency and the streaming velocity. The possibility of controlling the steady streaming pattern in order to affect the convective mass transfer is discussed.
