  2. Background Sliding Couette flow • Linearly stable for > 0.14.15:Gittler(1993) • Nonlinear solution: not yet known ( : radius ratio) UNDERGROUND • Applications:   ・catheter through blood vessel   ・train through a tunnel

  3. Background Sliding Couette flow • plane Couette flow ・    1 grad p • pipe flow ・add axial pressure gradient    ・adjust    ・ 0 • moderate : pCf with curvature + pf with solid core1

  9. Spiral Couette flow • Narrow gap limit • Rigid-body rotation Plane Couette fow with streamwise rotation or Rotating plane Couette flow by Joseph (1976)

  10. Model • Incompressible fluid between two parallel plates with infinite extent • Translational motion of the plates with opposite directions • Constant streamwise system rotation *: dimensional quantities

  11. Energy method: ReE The Reynolds-Orr energy equation Nondimensionalise:

  12. β=1.558 Energy method: ReE Euler-Lagrange equation eliminating boundary condition

  13. Governing equations time scale: length scale: velocity scale: • equation of continuity • momentum equation • boundary condition Reynolds number • basic solution Rotation rate

  14. Disturbance equatuins separation of the velocity field into basic flow, mean flows and residual Further decomposition of the residual into poloidal and toroidal parts substitute into the momentum equation

  15. Mean flow equations -averages of the -components of the momentum equation Boundary conditions:

  16. Linear stability analysis Perturbation equations expansion of : Chebyshev polynomials

  17. Numerical method(Linear analysis) Evaluation ofat the collocation points Eigenvalue problem unstable neutral stable

  18. Results (Ω=40 ) Unstable region: dark A few largest eigenvalues

  21. Long wave limit with constant β consider

  22. Long wave limit with constant β : boundary condition β=1.558

  23. Non-linear Analysis Expand: Boundary condition

  24. Non-linear Analysis Evaluate at Solve by Newton-Raphson method

  25. Nonlinear solution (bifurcation diagram) momentum transport

  26. Mean flows

  27. Steady spiral solution flow field x-component of the vorticity

  28. Summary Stability analysis: • Basic state is stable for small rotation and becomes unstable at Ω ~17 to 3D perturbations. • As Ω is increased, decreases. • in the limit of Ω→∞ and α→0. Nonlinear analysis • Steady spiral solution bifurcates supercritically as a secondary flow. • The mean flow in the spanwise direction is created.

  29. Connection with the 3-D solution of plane Couette flow without rotation steady spiral solution Future work • Connection with cylinderical geometry
