Abstract
The vortexing phenomenon that occurs in a cylindrical container is studied using PIV. The influence of the vane-type suppressors which prevent the vortex formation is investigated. An attempt has been made to understand the mechanism that is responsible for vortex suppressing. There is a strong updraft generated due to the suppressors which leads to annihilation of vorticity which appears to be responsible for vortex suppression.
