Numerical and Experimental Taylor Flow Instabilities presents the relationship between the onset of Taylor instability and appearance of what is commonly known as "turbulence" in narrow gaps between two cylinders. A question open to debate is whether the flow formations observed during Taylor instability regimes are, or are related to the actual "turbulence" as it is presently modeled in micro-scale clearance flows. FEATURES Flow patterns, velocity profiles and torques are presented in both Taylor and wavy vortex regimes. The formation and collapse of Taylor and wavy vortices are clearly...
