An experimental investigation of vortex breakdown in tubes at high reynolds numbers

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === This thesis deals with non-cavitating swirling flows with vortex breakdown in various tubes. Phenomenological and quantitative investigations were carried out at Reynolds numbers as high as 300,000. It was shown that a high Re(D) vortex tran...
