Nonlinear solutions of the amplitude equations governing fluid flow in rotating spherical geometries
We are interested in the onset of instability of the axisymmetric flow between two concentric spherical shells that differentially rotate about a common axis in the narrow-gap limit. The expected mode of instability takes the form of roughly square axisymmetric Taylor vortices which arise in the vic...
