ABSTRACT

Velocity field data were acquired for Taylor-Couette flow in the annulus gap between a rotating inner cylinder and a fixed concentric outer cylinder by particle image velocimetry. The flocculation efficiencies were also obtained in the same Taylor-Couette flow under the conditions corresponding to the velocity field measurement. It was shown that the flocculation efficiencies reach the maximum values due to the closed vortices in WVF and their contraction and expansion with time, but out of WVF range, the comparatively low flocculation efficiencies were obtained due to the no-closed vortices connected with each other.
