The characteristics of the motion of solid body markers over a settled composite vortex surface were studied using a laboratory apparatus. The vortex was generated in a cylindrical container filled with water using a rotating disc on the container bottom. The paths of solid body markers were visualized. The radial distribution of the angular velocity of marker revolution around the container center was obtained. A rela tionship between eigenrotation frequencies and rotation around the container center occurred for two types of polypropylene markers (a flat square plate and a voluminous small tube).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
