Comparison of Flow Characteristics of Different Sphere Geometries Under the Free Surface Effect

Comparison of the experimental results of turbulent flow structures between a smooth sphere and a sphere with a vent hole, roughened, and o-ring is presented in the presence of a free-surface. Dye visualization and particle image velocimetry (PIV) techniques were performed to examine effects of pass...
