Abstract

Flow and thermal fields in disk packs are analyzed. These flows are a subset of enclosed rotating cavity flows in which the disks are rotating with the same angular velocity and contained within a fixed cylindrical shroud. The axisymmetric model under consideration consists of a pair of corotating disks with mid-line symmetry. The corotating disks are assumed to be fully shrouded. Preliminary results of velocity and thermal fields in the gap between corotating disks for a 5.25-inch disk geometry drive are illustrated. The results have been obtained using the CFD code, FIDAP, running on a CDC 910 workstation
