In fluid dynamics, the Taylor–Couette flow consists of a viscous fluid confined in the gap between two rotating cylinders. For low angular velocities...

In fluid dynamics, Couette flow is the flow of a viscous fluid in the space between two surfaces, one of which is moving tangentially relative to the other...

viscous fluid between two surfaces Stokes-Couette flow, where one surface is oscillating Taylor–Couette flow, between two rotating cylinders This disambiguation...

kinematic viscosity. In the case of inertial instability such as Taylor–Couette flow, the Taylor number is mathematically analogous to the Grashof number which...

stability of parachutes. After the war Taylor returned to Trinity and worked on an application of turbulent flow to oceanography. He also worked on the...
