Gravity wave instability in a turbulent free-surface Taylor–Couette flow: experiments and comparison with an amplitude equation with additive noise

Gravity wave instability in a turbulent free-surface Taylor–Couette flow: experiments and comparison with an amplitude equation with additive noise

We present an experimental and theoretical study on the gravity-wave instability developing in a highly turbulent free-surface Taylor–Couette flow, for which only the inner cylinder rotates. Above a critical rotation speed, from an axisymmetric turbulent base state a non-axisymmetric fluctuating gra...
