Swirling flows are very susceptible to instabilities. Very often they are present in draft tubes of hydraulic turbines as so called vortex ropes resulting from spiral vor [...]

This paper discusses the comparison of the flow fields downstream of two different swirl generators. Both swirl generators are used to imitate the flow at the exit of the [...]

Many industrial devices positively utilize the action of centrifugal forces induced by highly swirling flows (e.g. hydrocyclones, swirl burners). On the other hand swirli [...]
