Investigation of Dynamics in Turbulent Swirling Flows Aided by Linear Stability Analysis

Turbulent swirling flows are important in many applications including gas turbines, furnaces and cyclone dust separators among others. Although the mean flow fields have been relatively well studied, a complete understanding of the flow field including its dynamics has not been achieved. The work co...
