Abstract

This chapter briefly reviews some basic principles that are useful when studying flow and heat transfer in rotating disk systems. Further details about these principles can be found in the literature, and it is therefore not necessary to present all of their implications here. The flow over an inclined disk with finite thickness is in general three-dimensional and characterized by flow separation. The transitions between different flow and heat transfer regimes can be described in terms of the critical point theory proposed for the first time in the early 1950s. This approach has been developed further over the last decades, and its connections to bifurcation theory became apparent. Its great potential for analyzing rotating disk systems has been recently realized, and its basic principles are given here.
