Abstract

The problem of a piston moving in a cylinder is studied experimentally using flow visualization techniques. A vortex motion is observed at the piston face and cylinder wall interface as the cylinder wall moves toward the piston. Non-dimensional scaling parameters for the vortex size and stability are determined and semi-empirical theories for the size of the vortex are presented.
