Fluid flows between rotating concentric cylinders exhibit two distinct routes to turbulence. In flows dominated by inner-cylinder rotation, a sequence of linear instabilities leads to temporally chaotic dynamics as the rotation speed is…
We study liquid-liquid dispersions in a turbulent Taylor-Couette flow, produced between two counterrotating coaxial cylinders. In pure Water and in counterrotation, Reynolds numbers up to 1.4 10^5 are reached. The liquids we use are a…
Taylor-Couette (TC) flow, the flow between two independently rotating and co-axial cylinders is commonly used as a canonical model for shear flows. Unlike plane Couette, pinned secondary flows can be found in TC flow. These are known as…
A concise review is given of astrophysically motivated experimental and theoretical research on Taylor-Couette flow. The flows of interest rotate differentially with inner cylinder faster than outer one but are linearly stable against…
In this paper, we investigate the stability of the 2-dimensional (2D) Taylor-Couette (TC) flow for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The explicit form of velocity for 2D TC flow is given by $u=(Ar+\frac{B}{r})(-\sin \theta, \cos…
In the present paper, microcanonical measures for the dynamics of three dimensional (3D) axially symmetric turbulent flows with swirl in a Taylor-Couette geometry are defined, using an analogy with a long-range lattice model. We compute the…
The turbulent transport of angular momentum plays an important role in many astrophysical objects, but its modelization is still far from satisfactory. We discuss here what can be learned from laboratory experiments. We analyze the results…
The energy gradient theory is used to study the instability of Taylor-Couette flow between concentric rotating cylinders. This theory has been proposed in our previous works. In our previous studies, the energy gradient theory was…
Turbulent shear flows are abundant in geophysical and astrophysical systems and in engineering-technology applications. They are often riddled with large-scale secondary flows that drastically modify the characteristics of the primary…
Elastic turbulence is a spatially and temporally disordered flow state appearing in viscoelastic fluids at vanishing fluid inertia and large elasticity. The resulting flows have broad technological interest, particularly to enhance mixing…
The linear stability theory of Taylor-Couette flows (unbounded in_z_) is described including magnetic fields, Hall effect or a density stratification in order to prepare laboratory experiments to probe the stability of differential rotation…
In this paper, we investigate the Rayleigh-Taylor instability problem for two compressible, immiscible, inviscid flows rotating with an constant angular velocity, and evolving with a free interface in the presence of a uniform gravitational…
Complex fluids transition from laminar to transitory flow above a critical control parameter, akin to their Newtonian counterparts. In a continuum mechanics sense, fluid elements follow the ensuing complex trajectories, giving rise to…
We consider the planar Taylor-Couette system for the steady motion of a viscous incompressible fluid in the region between two concentric disks, the inner one being at rest and the outer one rotating with constant angular speed. We study…
The possibility that the magnetic shear-flow instability (MRI, Balbus-Hawley instability) might give rise to turbulence in a cylindric Couette flow is investigated through numerical simulations. The study is linear and the fluid flow is…
Aims: To investigate the stability and angular momentum transport by the strato-rotational instability in the nonlinear regime. Methods: The hydrodynamic compressible equations are solved in a cartesian box in which the outer cylinder is…
Rotation is a crucial characteristic of fluid flow in the atmosphere and oceans, which is present in nearly all meteorological and geophysical models. The global existence of solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations with large rotation…
We study the dynamic behaviour of two viscous fluid films confined between two concentric cylinders rotating at a small relative velocity. It is assumed that the fluids are immiscible and that the volume of the outer fluid film is large…
This study is devoted to the experimental analysis of the Strato-rotational Instability (SRI). This instability affects the classical cylindrical Couette flow when the fluid is stably stratified in the axial direction. In agreement with…
In preparation for an experimental study of magnetorotational instability (MRI) in liquid metal, we explore Couette flows having height comparable to the gap between cylinders, centrifugally stable rotation, and high Reynolds number.…
