Stars lose a significant amount of angular momentum between birth and death, implying that
efficient processes transporting it from the core to the surface are active. Space …

Taylor-Couette flow, the flow between two coaxial co-or counter-rotating cylinders, is one of
the paradigmatic systems in the physics of fluids. The (dimensionless) control parameters …

The most efficient energy sources known in the Universe are accretion disks. Those around
black holes convert 5–40 per cent of rest-mass energy to radiation. Like water circling a …

We investigate the dynamical and statistical features of turbulent Taylor–Couette flow (for a
radius ratio 0.5) through three-dimensional direct numerical simulations (DNS) at Reynolds …

We present arcsecond-scale Submillimeter Array observations of the CO (3–2) line emission
from the disks around the young stars HD 163296 and TW Hya at a spectral resolution of 44 …

The flow between concentric cylinders is routinely used in soft matter studies. In many cases,
the purpose of the setup is rheometric: the idea is to relate macroscopic changes in material …

We analyze the global transport properties of turbulent Taylor-Couette flow in the strongly
turbulent regime for independently rotating outer and inner cylinders, reaching Reynolds …

We present measurements of the angular momentum flux (torque) in Taylor-Couette flow of
water between independently rotating cylinders for all regions of the (Ω 1, Ω 2) parameter …

Strongly turbulent Taylor–Couette flow with independently rotating inner and outer cylinders
with a radius ratio of is experimentally studied. From global torque measurements, we …

The torque in turbulent Taylor–Couette flows for shear Reynolds numbers the torque
features a maximum for a stationary outer cylinder. In addition, the effective torque scaling …
