Self-induced rotary sloshing caused by an upward round jet in a cylindrical container
Jet-induced rotary sloshing of a Newtonian fluid in a partially filled cylindrical container is numerically and experimentally visualized to investigate a flow pattern inside the rotary sloshing wave. Visualization techniques employed in this study include Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). Result for the sloshing period is compared with the theoretical result of a small time-harmonic irrotational flow of an inviscid and incompressible fluid, and several results for 3D view of the rotary sloshing and the velocity vector in the vertical and horizontal cross-sections are given.
