Numerical study on air-core vortex in a dual port cylindrical tank for lower speed of rotations

Rotating cylindrical tank filled with liquid engendered an air core during draining. The extension of the air-core into the drain port reduces the flow area and consequently the flow rate. The ongoing study focuses on the numerical simulation results of such vortex formation in a rotating cylindrica...

Description
Summary:Rotating cylindrical tank filled with liquid engendered an air core during draining. The extension of the air-core into the drain port reduces the flow area and consequently the flow rate. The ongoing study focuses on the numerical simulation results of such vortex formation in a rotating cylindrical tank with dual ports in which speed of rotation as the variable parameter here by keeping centre to centre distance fixed.
