Spiral turbulence in circular Couette flow
Under certain conditions, the fluid motion between counter-rotating concentric cylinders is made up of alternate helical stripes of laminar and turbulent flow. The present experiments show that, over a large range of cylinder Reynolds numbers, this helical pattern of turbulence rotates steadily at v...
