Prograde and retrograde precession of a fluid-filled cylinder

We numerically study precession driven flows in a cylindrical container whose nutation angle varies between 60 and 90 degrees for prograde and retrograde precession. For prograde precession we observe sharp transitions between a laminar and a turbulent flow state with low and high geostrophic axisym...
