Abstract

In this letter some experimental and theoretical results from the flow in open cylindrical channel under precession conditions are reported. This includes the linear solutions of velocity field based on real experimental observations, and the nonlinear solution where a new weakly nonlinear KdV model equation is derived and solved numerically, this was compared with the real single Kelvin mode of the problem that appears in a symmetrical form with constant speed. The paper also shades the light on the instability features, mainly the wave breaking of single Kelvin mode, that is considered the resonance case of the problem, a new instability diagram in terms of Strouhal and Reynolds numbers is presented for the different cases reported from the experiment. The measurements of the mean azimuthal flow have been carried out using particle tracking procedure that enabled us finally to extract equation fit connects between the control parameters of the problem (which are the water volume, the angle of tilt and rotation rate) and the drift velocity the results pours in favor of the ADV measurements extracted in the previous work, and show that the mean flow increases by increasing both the tilt and the rotation rate where the instability features in the system appear at earlier levels, while increasing the water volume needs more energy to get the flow instability.
