/** # Flow in a rotating bottom-driven cylindrical container A cylindrical container is partially filled with liquid. The bottom disk spins at constant speed. A steady state is eventually reached for which the hydrostatic pressure due to the deformation of the free-surface balances the centrifugal force. This is analogous to the solid body rotation in "Newton's bucket" but more complex due to the development of boundary layers and recirculations generated by the discontinuous velocity boundary condition between the rotating bottom disk and the stationary walls. This example reproduces one of the cases studied by [Wen Yang, 2018](#yang2018) in his PhD. We use the two-phase axisymmetric Navier--Stokes solver with swirl. */ #include "grid/multigrid.h" #include "axi.h" #include "navier-stokes/centered.h" #include "navier-stokes/swirl.h" #include "two-phase.h" #include "tension.h" #include "axistream.h" #include "view.h" /** ## Boundary conditions The left boundary is the "bottom" of the container.
