Abstract
A Lorenz-like truncation of the full hydrodynamic equations is used to study the onset of the first instability of modulated Taylor-Couette flow. The linear stability analysis is carried out on the lowest order (2*2) non-autonomous dynamical system. The use of good wavefunctions for the truncation yields qualitative agreement with exact hydrodynamics even at this low order of stability analysis.Keywords
