Abstract:Flow driven by co-rotating disks, such as hard disk drives (HDD) have been studied in previous research using axisymmetric models. In our work, a unique non-axisymmetric 3.5" transparent HDD model for information storage was used to investigate the effect of the arm insertion angle on these flow-fields. After introducing the shroud opening region in our model, we focused and illustrated the nature of flow-fields at a parameter α , defined as the arm insertion angle. Comparison was made between α = 20° closer t… Show more
