| Abstract | An experimental investigation was conducted on· the phenomenon of air entraining vortex flow. A dimensional analysis were used to determine
the flow parameters which was thought to control the air entraining conditions. A rectangular and a circular containers were used to conduct
the experimental tests. Two kinds of fluid, water and 0il, were used for this experiment. The vortex was formed by the fluid being removed from the container through a circular intake at the bottom of the container. The size of the circular intakes were varied, having diameters of 4, 3, 2, 1, 1/2 inches for the rectangular reservoir and 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4 inches for the circular tank. The experimental results were presented
graphically. The tests indicate that a relationship between the geometric scale, the Froude number and the ratio of the viscous force and surface
tension force may describe the flow phenomenon. |
