Abstract
Self-induced rotary sloshing caused by an upward round jet in a partially filled cylindrical container is numerically simulated to investigate the variation of flow pattern in horizontal cross-sections, which are from inside to outside the rotary sloshing. A molten steel jet could be also observed in a cylindrical reactor and, hence, the jet-induced rotary sloshing is thought to be useful for the development of a refining process. Visualization technique employed in this study includes Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Results for the horizontal flow pattern and the velocity profile are computed and tested against the previous PIV result. In addition, a circular trajectory of the peak point of a free surface swell caused by the inlet jet is computationally given.
