摘要
We present numerical as well as experimental results of axisymmetric, axially propagating vortices appearing in counter-rotating Taylor-Couette flow below the centrifugal instability threshold of circular Couette flow without additional externally imposed forces. These propagating vortices are periodically generated by the shear flow near the Ekman cells that are induced by the non-rotating end walls. These axisymmetric vortices propagate into the bulk towards mid-height, where they get annihilated by rotating, non-propagating defects. These propagating structures appear via a supercritical Hopf bifurcation from axisymmetric, steady vortices, which have been discovered recently in centrifugally stable counter-rotating Taylor-Couette flow (Abshagen et a l., Phys. Fluids,vol. 22, 2010, 021702). In the nonlinear regime of the Hopf bifurcation, contributions of non-axisymmetric modes also appear.
