Study of Taylor instabilities and turbulence in lubricating films

The development of the wavy mode of Taylor vortices in the flow between a rotating inner cylinder and a stationary outer cylinder has been investigated by visual observations using a stroboscopic technique and by inner cylinder torque measurements. Radius ratios of 0.874, 0.911, 0.950 and 0.975 have...
