ABSTRAKT

We propose a tabletop turbulence generator using a biaxially rotating (i.e. precessing) sphere. The flow inside the sphere is governed by two well-controllable parameters related with the spin and the precession angular velocities. The time-series analysis of PIV data for the velocity field reveals that turbulence is sustained even with a weak precession as far as the spin is sufficiently fast. We show the three-dimensional spatial flow structures obtained by the direct numerical simulations at the precisely same conditions as laboratory experiments.
