Escoamentos sobre superfícies côncovas estão sujeitos à instabilidade centrífuga, dando origem a vórtices longitudinais, conhecidos como vórtices de Görtler. Esses vórtices são responsáveis por gerar distorções fortes nos perfis de velocidade. Como os vórtices são contra-rotativos, duas regiões surgem entre os mesmos: uma região de upwash e uma região de downwash. Na região de upwash o fluido próximo à parede é jogado para longe da mesma. Na região de downwash acontece o contrário, o fluido que se desloca a uma velocidade maior é jogado em direção à parede. Os vórtices se amplificam inicialmente de forma linear. À jusante na região não linear de desenvolvimento dos vórtices, a amplitude dos mesmos já é elevada, e há a formação de uma estrutura do tipo cogumelo com a distribuição da componente de velocidade na direção principal do escoamento . Essa nova distribuição de velocidade é tridimensional e difere em muito da camada limite obtida com a solução das equações de Blasius. Levando-se em consideração a camada limite térmica, já foi observado que, na média, há um aumento de transferência de calor na direção da parede. No presente trabalho, é verificado numericamente a transferência de calor na presença de vórtices de Görtler. Para tal, foi desenvolvido e implementado um código de simulação numérica direta espacial (DNS - do inglês Direct Numerical Simulation). Os resultados deste trabalho mostram a intensificação da transferência de calor através dos vórtices de Görtler, tanto no regime não-linear como na instabilidade secundária / Flows over concave surfaces are subject to centrifugal instability. It gives rise to stramwise vortices known as Görtler vortices. These vortices are responsible for generating strong distortions in the velocity profiles. As the vortices are counterrotating, two regions arise between them: a region of uowash and a region of downwash. In the upwash region, the fluid near the wall is convected away from it. In the downwash region the opposite happens, the fluid moving at a faster speed is moved towards the wall. The vortices initially amplify linearly in the downstream. When their amplitude is already high, in the non-linear development region, a mushroom-type structure, with the velocity distribution in the main flow direction, is formed. This new three-dimensional velocity distribution is different from the boundary layer obtained with the solution of Blasius equations. Taking into account a thermal boundary layer, on average, an increase in the heat transfer in the wall direction has been observed. In the present work, it is verified numerically the heat transfer in the presence of Görtler vortices. A simulation code was developed and implemanted usin Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). The results of this work show the intensification of heat transfer through the Görtler vortices both in the non-linear regime and in the secondary instability

La résolution analytique du problème de la stabilité d’une suspension solide (particules rigides de forme sphérique) dans le système de Taylor-Couette cylindrique a été menée. On s’est basé sur les travaux de Ali and Lueptow (2002) pour formuler les équations régissant la stabilité de l’écoulement dans le cadre d’une théorie linéaire. Ces équations sont valables dans l’approximation du faible espace annulaire et ont pour but la prévision de l’instabilité primaire. A cet effet, nous avons utilisé une méthode variationnelle telle que la méthode de Galerkin pour résoudre le problème aux valeurs propres conduisant à établir le diagramme de stabilité liée au nombre d’onde au voisinage de l’état critique du développement de la première instabilité. Tout d’abord, on a cherché à mettre au point les calculs dans le cas de l’écoulement de Taylor-Couette classique en se référant aux travaux de Ali and Lueptow (2002). Ensuite on a procédé à la résolution systématique des équations du mouvement et l’on cherche à déterminer le critère d’apparition des instabilités en présence de particules en suspension et l’on détermine simultanément les paramètres de couplage entre forces d’interaction liquide-solide. L’ensemble des travaux ainsi réalisés permettront de lever la contradiction fondamentale entre la théorie et l’expérience. L’étude expérimentale a permis d’analyser les effets de la concentration des particules en suspension (disques) et du rapport d’aspect radial ’ sur l’apparition des instabilités dans le système de Taylor-Dean. Le dispositif expérimental utilisé est constitué d’un cylindre intérieur tournant et le cylindre extérieur est maintenu fixe. Le comportement rhéologique du fluide utilisé est viscoplastique obéissant au modèle de Herschel Bulkley. L’apparition des instabilités est examinée en utilisant une technique de visualisation. Pour une concentration donnée dans l’intervalle étudié, la nature des structures apparaissant dans le système d’écoulement dépend ’, alors que pour une valeur donnée de ’ dans l’intervalle étudié, la valeur du nombre de Taylor critique Tac dépend de la concentration des particules. Nous avons obtenu que le nombre de Taylor critique Tac correspondant au déclenchement de la première instabilité évolue non linéairement en fonction de ’. De plus, nous avons examiné expérimentalement les effets de limitation axiale (effet de bords) sur le déclenchement des instabilités dans le système de Taylor-Dean. Les résultats obtenus montrent que les bords tournants n’affectent pas le type de structures qui apparaissent dans le système d’écoulement de Taylor-Dean. Cependant, ils influencent le seuil critique d’apparition des instabilités qui est marquée par des valeurs élevées du nombre de Taylor critique pour des bords tournants ce qui indique un effet stabilisant des bords mobiles. / The analytical solution of the stability problem of a solid suspension (rigid spherical particles) in the system of cylindrical Taylor-Couette was conducted. We are based on the work of Ali and Lueptow (2002) to formulate the equations governing the stability of the flow in a linear theory. These equations are valid in the approximation of small gap configuration and aim to predict the primary instability. For this purpose, we used a variational method such as the Galerkin method to solve the eigenvalue problem leading to establish the stability diagram related to the wave number in the vicinity of the critical state of development of the first instability. First, we develop the calculations in the case of Taylor-Couette flow with reference to classic work of Ali and Lueptow (2002). Then, we carried out a systematic solution of the equations of motion and we search to determine the criterion of onset of instabilities in the presence of suspended particles and coupling parameters are simultaneously determined from liquid-solid interaction force. All work carried out and will remove the fundamental contradiction between theory and experiment. The experimental study has analyzed the effect of the concentration of suspended particles (disks) and radial aspect ratio ' on the occurrence of instabilities in the Taylor-Dean flow system. The experimental device used consists of a rotating inner cylinder and the outer cylinder is stationary. The rheological behavior of the fluid is viscoplastic obeying to Herschel Bulkley model. The onset of instability is examined using a visualization technique. For a given concentration in the range studied, the nature of the structure appearing in the flow system depends on ', while for a given value of ' in the range studied, the value of the critical Taylor number Tac depends on the particle concentration. We obtain that the critical Taylor number Tac corresponding to the onset of the first instability evolves nonlinearly versus '. In addition, we examined experimentally the effect of axial limitation (endwall effects) on the onset of instabilities in the Taylor-Dean flow system. The results show that the rotating endwalls do not affect the type of structures that appear in the Taylor-Dean flow system. However, they influence the threshold of appearance of instabilities which is characterized by high values of the critical Taylor number for rotating endwalls indicating a stabilizing effect of the rotating endwalls.

Ce travail porte sur l'étude expérimentale et numérique de jets coaxiaux de rapports de vitesses débitantes intérieure/extérieure) inférieurs à l’unité, présentant une rotation dans le jet annulaire. Dans un premier temps, des visualisations par tomographie laser ont été réalisées dans les plans méridien et transversaux permettant une description tridimensionnelle de l'écoulement. Pour différents nombres de Reynolds, de rapport de vitesses et de nombre de Swirl, un inventaire des modes dominants a pu être établi. Les champs instantanés de vitesses ont ensuite été mesurés par Vélocimétrie par Imagerie de Particules (PIV). Les résultats de mesures de vitesses longitudinales et azimutales moyennées en temps sont présentés. Une comparaison avec les structures observées par tomographie est proposée. Une décomposition de Fourier a été effectuée permettant d'identifier les modes dominants ainsi que leur position dans la direction radiale. L'approche expérimentale a été suivie par une analyse de stabilité linéaire. Une attention particulière est portée sur l'état de base stationnaire reconstruit à partir des profils de vitesses mesurées par PIV à la sortie du jet. Étant donné que l'écoulement est non parallèle, une approche globale de la stabilité est utilisée. L'étude de la stabilité est basée sur la résolution numérique des équations de Navier-Stokes par des méthodes pseudo-spectrales. L'objectif de cette analyse est de retrouver la carte en mode de Fourier azimutaux observée expérimentalement. Nous nous sommes donc intéressés au taux de croissance le plus élevé de la perturbation pour chaque mode azimutal ainsi qu'à la nature convective/ absolue des modes. Pour finir, une com / This work concerns the experimental and numerical study of coaxial jets with outer to inner velocity ratio lower than unity, presenting a rotation in the annular jet. At first, flow visualizations by tomography laser were used in the meridian and transverse plans in order to provide a spatial description of the flow. For various values of the nondimensional parameters : numbers of Reynolds, outer to inner velocity ratio and Swirl number, an inventory of the dominant modes was be established. Instantaneous velocity fields were then measured by Particle lmaging Velocimetry (PIV). The results of longitudinal and azimuthal time-averaged Velocity fields are presented. A comparison with the structures observed by tomography is proposed. A Fourier decomposition was made allowing to identify the dominant modes as well as their position in the radial direction. Experimental investigation was followed by a linear stability analysis. Special attention is paid to the steady base-flow solution reconstructed from the velocity profiles measured by PIV at the end of the nozzle. Given that the is not parallel, a global approach was used. Study of the stability is based on the numerical solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with pseudo-spectral methods. The objective of this analysis is to the map of azimuthal Fourier modes observed experimentally. We were thus interested in the most amplified growth rate of the disturbance for every azimuthal mode as well as in the absolute/convective nature of the modes. To conclude, a comparison of the results obtained in both numerical and experimental approaches is proposed.
