NUMERICAL CALCULATION OF THE FLOW REGIMES OF A FLUID PARTIALLY FILLING A HORIZONTAL ROTATING HEAT-EXCHANGE CYLINDER
Yu. V. Naumenko UDC 532.516:518:517.9 Consideration is given to a numerical determination of a two-dimensional unsteady viscous flow with the free surface in a stationarily rotating horizontal cylinder in which heat-exchange processes are carried out. The "marker-and-cell" method in a polar coordinate system is used. The features of modeling of the wall-layer regime and the circulating flow regime that occur in rapid and slow rotation of the cylinder, respectively, are discussed. Based on the given results of numerical calculations, the influence of the Reynolds number on the character of flow is analyzed. Rovno State Humanities University, Rovno, Ukraine.
