<strong>of</strong> 10 mm m from the origin o <strong>and</strong> an axial distancee<br />
<strong>of</strong> 20 mm. TThe<br />
results shoow<br />
the exis stence <strong>of</strong> PVC <strong>and</strong> a linear ddependency<br />
<strong>of</strong>f<br />
precession frrequency<br />
on thhe<br />
flow ra ate (Figure 4. .51). Alekseennko<br />
et al. (1999)<br />
also fouund<br />
this lineear<br />
dependency<br />
<strong>of</strong> preces ssion frequenccy<br />
with flow raate<br />
at a given sswirl<br />
number. .<br />
The eff fect <strong>of</strong> Reynol lds number iss<br />
very obviouss<br />
on the floww<br />
characteristiccs.<br />
The hig gh Reynolds number ReA exhibits commparatively<br />
larrger<br />
vortex size<br />
than lo ower ReB. The e flow at ReB is less responnsive<br />
or in othher<br />
words moore<br />
resistive e to variations s in vorticity <strong>and</strong> Reynoldds<br />
stresses as tthe<br />
swirl decaays<br />
along th he pipe. In ca ase <strong>of</strong> Reynoldds<br />
stresses by comparing coontour<br />
plots fo for<br />
ReA <strong>and</strong> d ReB, it can be seen that wwith<br />
swirl decay<br />
downstreaam,<br />
the flow at<br />
high Re eynolds numb ber has higherr<br />
tendency towwards<br />
a more uniform spatiial<br />
distribu ution <strong>of</strong> indiv vidual Reynoldds<br />
stress compponents<br />
in thhe<br />
flow domain<br />
(see section<br />
4.2.5 <strong>and</strong> d 4.2.6).<br />
The afo orementioned effects <strong>of</strong> Reyynolds<br />
numbeer<br />
can also haave<br />
a possibiliity<br />
due to vortex core precession p by assuming voortex<br />
core preccession<br />
to be a<br />
major contributor c to o the measureed<br />
values <strong>of</strong> innstantaneous<br />
vvelocity<br />
data in<br />
the regi ion around th he cylinder axxis.<br />
This assummption<br />
will quualitatively<br />
givve<br />
some new n informat tion about tthe<br />
effect <strong>of</strong> Reynolds number<br />
on thhe<br />
precessi ion frequency y <strong>and</strong> ampliitude.<br />
For exxample<br />
if thhe<br />
vortex coore<br />
precessi ion has a lar rge amplitudee<br />
then the teemporal<br />
average<br />
<strong>of</strong> velociity<br />
compon nents will re esult in a laarge<br />
mean vvortex<br />
core ssize.<br />
From thhe<br />
experim mental results,<br />
it can probbably<br />
be concluded<br />
that, in the current<br />
experim ment, with in ncrease in Reyynolds<br />
numbber<br />
the ampliitude<br />
<strong>of</strong> vortex<br />
precessi ion increases <strong>and</strong> a with swirll<br />
decay downsstream<br />
its frequency<br />
decreasses<br />
compar red to low Rey ynolds numbeer.<br />
However, tthe<br />
effect <strong>of</strong> swwirl<br />
decay alonng<br />
the pipe e on the vortex x core precessiion<br />
frequencyy,<br />

<strong>of</strong> authoor,<br />
has not t been report ted <strong>and</strong> requiires<br />
more expperiments<br />
