This ex xperiment stu udied the effeect<br />

<strong>of</strong> piston position on the incylindder<br />

confine ed swirling fl low. The expperiment,<br />

howwever,<br />

did nnot<br />

include thhe<br />

dynami ic effect <strong>of</strong> the e piston <strong>and</strong> innstead<br />

the meeasurements<br />

are<br />

conducted at<br />

fixed pi iston position ns. The designn<br />

swirl parameeter<br />

remains tthe<br />

same for aall<br />

piston positions. p<br />

The ma agnitudes <strong>of</strong> ta angential <strong>and</strong> axial velocitiees<br />

decay downstream<br />

the floow<br />

due to friction f with cylinder c internnal<br />

wall. The tangential vellocity<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>ile, at<br />

fully op pen port, is sim milar to a "Burrger<br />

Vortex" i. e. an inner forrced<br />

vortex coore<br />

<strong>and</strong> fre ee vortex oute er region. Thhe<br />

higher veloocities<br />

are observed<br />

at somme<br />

interme ediate radial position p betweeen<br />

cylinder wwall<br />

<strong>and</strong> the geometric<br />

centter<br />

where force <strong>and</strong> free fr vortex reegions<br />

meet. With the ddecay<br />

in swiirl<br />

downstream<br />

the flow w, the size <strong>of</strong> the forced voortex<br />

region inncreases.<br />

As thhe<br />

piston is i positioned to t close the inntake<br />

port by 225%,<br />

both thee<br />

tangential annd<br />

axial ve elocity pr<strong>of</strong>iles<br />

changes at z . The tangeential<br />

velocity becomes moore<br />

1<br />

asymme etric <strong>and</strong> for the axial vellocity<br />

the wake<br />

effect <strong>of</strong> tthe<br />

vortex coore<br />

decrease es. The dow wnstream decaay<br />

<strong>of</strong> the swwirl<br />

additionaally<br />

affects thhe<br />

tangent tial <strong>and</strong> axial velocity pr<strong>of</strong>files.<br />

The tanggential<br />

velocitty<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>ile at ffar<br />

downstream<br />

position ns starts changging<br />

to a forceed<br />

vortex i.e. hhigher<br />

velocitiies<br />

are obse erved near the e cylinder wallls<br />

<strong>and</strong> the wakke<br />

like pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> axial velociity<br />

diminis shes until it develops a jeet<br />

like pr<strong>of</strong>ilee<br />

at z . This shows that thhe<br />

downstream<br />

decay in n the swirl is decreasing thhe<br />
