TRANSFER OF DISCRETE INCLUSIONS BY FLUXES WITH CONCENTRATED VORTICITY
K. N. Volkov UDC 532.529:536.24 Problems related to modeling of the motion of discrete inclusions (solid particles, drops or bubbles) in flows with concentrated vorticity are considered. A comparative evaluation of the force factors in the equation of motion of a test particle is made. The results of numerical modeling of the motion of discrete inclusions in the gap between concentric rotating cylinders and a vortex flow formed by the liquid rotating with a constant angular velocity over a fixed base are discussed. The coordinates of the points of equilibrium of the test particle in the vortex flow are found. D. F.
