Figure 2.4 gives a de escription <strong>of</strong> ddifferent<br />

regioons<br />

in the tanngential<br />

velociity<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> a concent trated vortex. As discussedd<br />

earlier in caase<br />

<strong>of</strong> Rankinne<br />

vortex, the vortex cor re has a forcedd<br />

vortex pr<strong>of</strong>ile<br />

until a radiial<br />

distance ‘ r a ’<br />

where the t maximum m tangential veelocity<br />

is obseerved.<br />

In real swirling flowws,<br />

the radial<br />

position ‘ r a ’ in figure 22.4<br />

is determiined<br />

by tangeential<br />

velocitiees,<br />

viscosity y, turbulence,<br />

<strong>and</strong>/or the introduction <strong>of</strong> non-rotating<br />

fluid at thhe<br />

vortex center c (Vanyo o, 1993). The ‘wall layer’ hhas<br />

very largee<br />

gradients annd<br />

flow in n this region, , in cylindriccal<br />

enclosures,<br />

is probably y influenced bby<br />

Görtler vortices (Escu udier et al., 22006).<br />

Görtler vortices are ssecondary<br />

flowws<br />

that app pear in a boun ndary layer floow<br />

along a conncave<br />

wall see Saric (1994) fo for<br />

details. Further, in the t near wall region, vorticcity<br />

is generatted<br />

due to skkin<br />

friction n factor acting as an externall<br />

force to a verry<br />

thin fluid laayer<br />

attached to<br />

the wall<br />

(Ebrahimi et t al., 2007). Thhe<br />

region in bbetween<br />

the foorced<br />

vortex annd<br />

wall lay yer is ‘Annular<br />

region’. Thhe<br />

flow in thhis<br />

region shoould<br />

ideally bbe<br />

irrotatio onal (based on n description o<strong>of</strong><br />

Rankine voortex).<br />

However,<br />

in real flowws<br />

this reg gion has a very y low vorticity. . The visualizaation<br />

results byy<br />

Escudier et aal.<br />

(1982) show s ring-like e large vorticees<br />

in the outer<br />

region <strong>and</strong> appear to be <strong>of</strong><br />

Taylor-G Görtler type; distorted by the axial floow<br />

<strong>and</strong> also responsible ffor<br />

uniform mly distributin ng the small amount <strong>of</strong> voorticity<br />
