Summary
Steady, incompressible flow converging radially between two stationary, parallel plates was investigated both numerically and experimentally. Flow ranges investigated were laminar, turbulent, and transitional. For laminar flows at dimensionless radii (2r..sqrt pi nu../Qt) much greater than one the velocity profile becomes parabolic and invariant. At radii less than one a boundary layer character evolves with an approximately uniform core region and the boundary layer thickness decreases from one-half the disk spacing to values proportional to the local radii as the flow accelerates towards the center. At large radii the friction factor approaches the classic value obtained for fully developed rectilinear flow between infinite plated, 6..nu../Vt, but at small radii it approaches the constant 2.17/..sqrt..R/sub 0/, where R/sub 0/ is an overall Reynolds number based on the volumetric flow rate and the disk spacing and is independent of radius. Tabular and graphical results are provided for the intermediate range of radii, where both viscous and inertial effects are important, and exact analyses were not available.
