The Three-Dimensional Velocity Distribution of Wide Gap Taylor-Couette Flow Modelled by CFD

A numerical investigation is conducted for the flow between two concentric cylinders with a wide gap, relevant to bearing chamber applications. This wide gap configuration has received comparatively less attention than narrow gap journal bearing type geometries. The flow in the gap between an inner...
