Abstract
For sufficiently high speeds of the inner cylinder, the flow between concentric rotating cylinders with a circumferential pressure gradient is unstable. By considering the full nonlinear equations, the amplitude of the resulting vortex motion is computed. The effect of the vortex motion on the shear stress at the inner cylinder and the relation between the mean flow and the pressure gradient are discussed.Keywords
