| Abstract | We have conducted a numerical studv of spherical Couette Vlow -the flow between differentiallv rotatin~ concentric spheres. When the qa D ratio o{(R2-RI)/RI (where R 1 and R 2 are the radii of the inner and outer spheres) is small, the flow near the e~uator resembles that between cylinders, the classic Tavlor-Couette ~roblem. As in Tavlor-Couette flow, when the angular momentum gradient, measured by the Reynolds number Re ~RI2QI/~ (where Q1 is the anaular velocitv of the inner sphere and v the kinetic viscosit}7) exceeds a critical value, Taylor vortices form to redistribute anaular momentum between radial shells. |
