Défauts des matériaux. Protection des matériaux Résumé : The development of a columnar vortex and its attenuation using radial rods at the bottom boundary of a stationary container are experimentally studied. The fluid motion is achieved combining two independent flows: a global circulation around the cylinder axis and a meridian flow generated by recirculating fluid through a central nozzle located at the vessel bottom. The resulting velocity field is analyzed under two conditions: with and without the meridian or suction flow. It is shown that in the second condition a columnar vortex merges and that its intensity increases when the suction flow rate is increased. The key role played by the bottom boundary layer in the vortex formation is demonstrated. In the last part of the work, the attenuation of the vortex intensity produced by a set of rods located at the vessel bottom is investigated. It is found that obstacles with heights of the order of the boundary layer thickness are enough to produce the total annihilation of the vortex column.
