Abstract

Experiments on the fluid friction of a rotating disc which has protuberances on its surface are performed. The author arranged blades radially or concentrically on the disc and on the vessel, and carried out experiments on same combinations of the disc and vessel which have blades or smooth surfaces. The main results obtained are as follows : 1) The relation between Cf and R6 can be expressed by Cf=α·R6-0.1575. 2) The value of α increases first rapidly with the number of blades and then gradually approaches to a minimum value. 3) The shapes of blades (logarithmic and straight) have little influences on Cf for small clearance. 4) The increment value of Cf induced by the blades on the disc is nearly twice as large as the value by the blades on the vessel. 5) The boss ratio smaller than 0.5 has little influences on the value of Cf.
