Investigation of transient multiphase Taylor-Couette flow

A multiphase, transient, horizontal, Taylor-Couette flow has been investigated numerically. This flow governs thermal performance of self-contained drum motor (SCDM) drive systems. These drive systems are extensively used with conveyor belt systems, employed in many industrial and commercial applications. Thermal performance of the SCDM drive system is governed by heat transfer within multiphase flow of air and oil. This flow is confined within …
