Entrainment in non-stationary flows


Abstract eng:
The current study reports on a generalized mechanism for entrainment in non-stationary flows. Towards this end, the starting vortex that forms behind a constantly-accelerating, normally-towed, circular plate is considered. Velocimetry measurements of the starting vortex suggest that the ratio between entrainment velocity and instantaneous plate velocity is independent of dimensionless acceleration. A statistically significant data set has been obtained, from which a final model is currently being developed.
