The Transitional Regime of Backward-Facing Step Flows
Tihon, Jaroslav ; Pěnkavová, Věra ; Havlica, Jaromír ; Šimčík, Miroslav
The backward-facing step flow is investigated experimentally (electrodiffusion technique) and numerically (CFD software Fluent) at moderate Reynolds numbers achieved in a water channel. The direction sensitive sensors are used to measure the wall shear rate behind the step and detect the near-wall extent of different flow-recirculation regions. 2D numerical simulations provide additional information on the global flow rearrangement caused by the change of operational parameters (channel expansion ratios, inlet flow conditions). At the transitional flow regime, the near-wall flow exhibits an unsteady character with a high sensitivity to external low-frequency perturbations (intrinsic flow instability). The inlet pulsatile forcing is found to affect strongly the overall flow structure behind the step, resulting in the reattachment length reduction and the reverse flow intensification.

AWS Viscosimetry of Microdispersions - Detection of Apparent Wall Slip
Pěnkavová, Věra ; Večeř, M. ; Wein, Ondřej
The rheometric data measured using three various sensor geometries (PP60, ZZ40DIN and KK-sensor) are compared in this contribution at the case of water solution of polymer welan. The KK-sensor, constructed at our department, combines advantages of geometry both plate-plate and concentric cylinder geometry. It is shown that KK-sensor is comparable to commercial sensors. It is presented for water kaolin dispersions that apparent wall slip does not disappeared neither for low consistent dispersions. The values of slip coefficients are even higher in the case of less consistent samples.

Experiments on Large Bubbles Rising in an Inclined Flat Channel
Tihon, Jaroslav ; Pěnkavová, Věra ; Vejražka, Jiří
The motion of single air bubbles in an inclined flat water channel is investigated experimentally. The electrodiffusion technique of near-wall flow diagnostics is applied to measure the wall shear stress distribution under large bubbles rising along the upper channel wall. The directionally sensitive, two-strip electrodiffusion probes are used to detect the location of flow reversal in a thin liquid film separating the moving bubble from the wall. The electrodiffusion measurements are synchronized with the visual observation of bubble movement done by a high-speed camera. The experiments are carried out for three different channel heights (1.5, 4, and 8 mm) and cover a wide range of channel inclination angles (from horizontal to vertical position). The experimental results on bubble motion characteristics obtained in stagnant and co-flowing liquid arrangements are confronted with the recent predictions and scaling provided by theoretical models.

Střihové napětí na stěně pod velkou bublinou stoupající v nakloněném plochém kanále
Tihon, Jaroslav ; Pěnkavová, Věra ; Vejražka, Jiří
The motion of single air bubbles in an inclined flat water channel is investigated experimentally. The electrodiffusion technique of near-wall flow diagnostics is applied to measure the wall shear stress distribution under large bubbles rising along the upper channel wall. The electrodiffusion measurements are synchronized with the visual observation of bubble movement done by a high-speed camera. The analysis of video records provides information on the bubble shape and terminal velocity. The experiments are carried out for three different channel heights and cover a wide range of channel inclination angles (from horizontal to vertical position). The experimental results on bubble motion characteristics obtained in stagnant and upward-flowing liquid arrangements are confronted with the recent predictions and scaling provided by theoretical models.

Vliv pulzací nátoku na strukturu toku v kanále za náhlým rozšířením.
Pěnkavová, Věra ; Tihon, Jaroslav
The wall shear rate profiles were measured along the bottom and roof walls of rectangular channel with backward-facing step. The profiles were measured by two-strip electrodiffusion probes. It is possible to see the strong effect of the inlet flow pulsations on the flow structure. The influence of the inlet flow pulsation was studied for various frequence and amplitude for water when the Reynolds number was ranging from 100 to 1500 and expansion ratio of the channel was 2.
