Abstract
Swirling flow, in which there is large scale rotation of the mean flow, is one of the well recognised configurations of flow. The use of vortex type flows are extremely widespread in a range of different devices and applications (1). The list of industrial operations in which they are used includes such diverse applications as the separation of gases of different molecular weights, Ranque-Hilsch tubes, cyclone dust separators, spray dryers, gas scrubbers, flash dryers, cyclone evaporators, combustion devices, plasma flame stabilisation, in agitators and in the piping associated with fluid turbo-equipment (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). Also fluidic vortex valves, and gas-core nuclear rockets are among the numerous practical devices, the performance of which is dominated by a confined turbulent vortex created by tangential injection of all or part of the through-flow (11)
