چکیده
A nonlinear stability analysis by Demay and looss [J. Mec. Theor. Appl. , special issue, p. 193 (1984)] of flow between concentric rotating cylinders (the Couette-Taylor system) predicted a transition from the basic flow to a state with ribbons, which are traveling waves in the azimuthal direction but standing waves in the axial direction. We have observed the transition to ribbons in laboratory experiments and numerical simulations, and the measured wave speeds are in accord

Wave-number dependence of the transitions between traveling and standing vortex waves and their mixed states in the Taylor-Couette system.
Previous numerical investigations of the stability and bifurcation properties of different nonlinear combination structures of spiral vortices in a counter-rotating Taylor-Couette system that were done for fixed axial wavelengths are supplemented by exploring the dependence of the vortex phenomena waves on their wavelength. This yields information about the experimental and numerical accessibil...
متن کاملLocalized spirals in Taylor-Couette flow.
We present a type of spiral vortex state that appears from a supercritical Hopf bifurcation below the linear instability of circular Couette flow in a Taylor-Couette system with rigid end plates. These spirals have been found experimentally as well as numerically as "pure" states but also coexist with "classical" spirals (or axially standing waves for smaller systems) which typically appear fro...
متن کاملControlling the stability transfer between oppositely traveling waves and standing waves by inversion-symmetry-breaking perturbations.
The effect of an externally applied flow on symmetry degenerated waves propagating into opposite directions and standing waves that exchange stability with the traveling waves via mixed states is analyzed. Wave structures that consist of spiral vortices in the counter rotating Taylor-Couette system are investigated by full numerical simulations and explained quantitatively by amplitude equation...
متن کاملTraveling waves in a magnetized Taylor-Couette flow.
We investigate numerically a traveling wave pattern observed in experimental magnetized Taylor-Couette flow at low magnetic Reynolds number. By accurately modeling viscous and magnetic boundaries in all directions, we reproduce the experimentally measured wave patterns and their amplitudes. Contrary to previous claims, the waves are shown to be transiently amplified disturbances launched by vis...
متن کاملStabilization of domain walls between traveling waves by nonlinear mode coupling in Taylor-Couette flow.
We present a new mechanism that allows the stable existence of domain walls between oppositely traveling waves in pattern-forming systems far from onset. It involves a nonlinear mode coupling that results directly from the nonlinearities in the underlying momentum balance. Our work provides the first observation and explanation of such strongly nonlinearly driven domain walls that separate stru...
