The LDA study of flow gas-dynamics in a vortex chamber
The experimental data on the turbulent structure of swirling flow in vortex chamber with diaphragm are presented. The data were made with the help of LDA method. The evolution of turbulence intensity in the vortex chamber is shown. The influence of initial conditions of the swirling flow forming on the turbulent properties are considered.
