The Origin of Ekman Flow in a Cavity Subject to Impulsive Rotational Motions

An experimental study is performed to disclose the origin of Ekman flow on the surfaces of a rotating drum resulting from fluid-structure interaction after an impulsive start of motion (referred to as the spin-up process) or an impulsive stop (the spin-down process). Laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV)...
