Vortex evolution in a rotating tank with an off-axis drain (2021)
Journal Article
Munro, R. J., & Foster, M. R. (2022). Vortex evolution in a rotating tank with an off-axis drain. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 933, Article R2. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2021.1098

Fluid entering the periphery of a steadily rotating cylindrical tank exits through an off-axis drain hole, located in the tank's base at the half-radius. Experiments show that, though a concentrated vortex forms over the drain, it soon advects around... Read More about Vortex evolution in a rotating tank with an off-axis drain.

Direct effects of boundary permeability on turbulent flows: observations from an experimental study using zero-mean-shear turbulence (2021)
Journal Article
McCorquodale, M. W., & Munro, R. (2021). Direct effects of boundary permeability on turbulent flows: observations from an experimental study using zero-mean-shear turbulence. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 915, Article A134. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2021.160

The interaction of zero-mean-shear turbulence (generated using an oscillating grid) with solid and permeable boundaries is studied experimentally. The influence of wall permeability is characterised using the permeability Reynolds number, ReK, which...
