Abstract:
The data assembled regarding the flows generated in a device with rotating cylinders is disclosed in the present paper. The device studied consists of two cylinders; the internal cylinder is driven at a constant rotational speed, while the external remains stationary. The study is carried out by numerical simulation using the CFX calculation code, which is based on the finite volume method for solving the equations describing the motion. The simulated fluid is a complex non-Newtonian (shear thinning) fluid modeled by Oswald De Waele's law. For a process which is supposed isothermal and stationary and for a laminar regime, the effects of the cylinder rotational speed and its eccentricity are highlighted. The data presented in this paper support and augment information in the research papers [1-6].
