The flow-visualization methods of dye injection, hydrogen-bubble generation and paraffin mist are employed to investigate radial flow between parallel circular disks with a steady influx. Three distinct flow patterns are observed in the range of Re between 1.5 and 50. (1) Steady flow without boundary-layer separation and re-attachment, for Re < Rec. (2) A self-controlled flow oscillation which decays further downstream, in the range of Rec [les ] Re < Ret. (3) A self-sustained flow fluctuation which develops into a laminar-turbulent transition with a reverse transition further downstream, when Re [ges ] Ret. Rec and Ret are the critical and transition Reynolds number, respectively. The oscillating flows are caused by a vortex street consisting of vortices (i.e. separating annular bubbles) that separate periodically and alternately from both disks. Finite-difference solutions of the unsteady vorticity transport equation broadly agree with certain experimental observations. The study concludes that the separation and reattachment of shear layers in the radial flow through parallel disks are unsteady phenomena and the sequence of nucleation, growth, migration and decay of the vortices is self-sustained.
