Abstract
The averaged viscous incompressible fluid flow driven by a vibrating body with a large-curvature edge is investigated experimentally and numerically. The case of an axisymmetric body immersed in fluid and performing translational vibrations along its axis is considered. Experiments carried out on fluids of various viscosity over a wide vibration frequency and amplitude range and direct numerical calculations based on the complete time-dependent equations of viscous fluid dynamics show that the global structure of the averaged flow significantly depends on the relation between the curvature radius of the body edge and the viscous skin-layer thickness. Different averaged flow regimes are detected and the flow restructuring process is investigated as a function of the vibration amplitude and frequency.
