We perform a linearized local stability analysis for short-wavelength perturbations of a circular Couette flow with the radial temperature gradient. Axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric perturbations are considered and both the thermal diffusivity and the kinematic viscosity of the fluid are taken into account. The effect of the asymmetry of the heating both on the centrifugally unstable flows and on the onset of the instabilities of the centrifugally stable flows, including the flow with the Keplerian shear profile, is thoroughly investigated. It is found that the inward temperature gradient destabilizes the Rayleigh stable flow either via Hopf bifurcation if the liquid is a very good heat conductor or via steady state bifurcation if viscosity prevails over the thermal conductance.

We study the convective and absolute forms of azimuthal magnetorotational instability (AMRI) in a Taylor-Couette (TC) flow with an imposed azimuthal magnetic field. We show that the domain of the convective AMRI is wider than that of the absolute AMR
I. Actually, it is the absolute instability which is the most relevant and important for magnetic TC flow experiments. The absolute AMRI, unlike the convective one, stays in the device, displaying a sustained growth that can be experimentally detected. We also study the global AMRI in a TC flow of finite height using DNS and find that its emerging butterfly-type structure -- a spatio-temporal variation in the form of upward and downward traveling waves -- is in a very good agreement with the linear stability analysis, which indicates the presence of two dominant absolute AMRI modes in the flow giving rise to this global butterfly pattern.
Numerical simulation of Electroconvective vortices behavior in the presence of Couette flow between two infinitely long electrodes is investigated. The two-relaxation-time Lattice Boltzmann Method with fast Poisson solver solves for the spatiotempora
l distribution of flow field, electric field, and charge density. Couette cross-flow is applied to the solutions after the electroconvective vortices are established. Increasing cross-flow velocity deforms the vortices and eventually suppresses them when threshold values of shear stress are reached.
We perform a three-dimensional, short-wavelength stability analysis on the numerically simulated two-dimensional flow past a circular cylinder for Reynolds numbers in the range $50le Rele300$; here, $Re = U_{infty}D/ u$ with $U_infty$, $D$ and $ u$ b
eing the free-stream velocity, the diameter of the cylinder and the kinematic viscosity of the fluid, respectively. For a given $Re$, inviscid local stability equations from the geometric optics approach are solved on three distinct closed fluid particle trajectories (denoted as orbits 1, 2 & 3) for purely transverse perturbations. The inviscid instability on orbits 1 & 2, which are symmetric counterparts of one another, is shown to undergo bifurcations at $Reapprox50$ and $Reapprox250$. Upon incorporating finite-wavenumber, finite-Reynolds number effects to compute corrected local instability growth rates, the inviscid instability on orbits 1 & 2 is shown to be suppressed for $Relesssim262$. Orbits 1 & 2 are thus shown to exhibit a synchronous instability for $Regtrsim262$, which is remarkably close to the critical Reynolds number for the mode-B secondary instability. Further evidence for the connection between the local instability on orbits 1 & 2, and the mode-B secondary instability, is provided via a comparison of the growth rate variation with span-wise wavenumber between the local and global stability approaches. In summary, our results strongly suggest that the three-dimensional short-wavelength instability on orbits 1 & 2 is a possible mechanism for the emergence of the mode B secondary instability.
Recent studies have brought into question the view that at sufficiently high Reynolds number turbulence is an asymptotic state. We present the first direct observation of the decay of turbulent states in Taylor-Couette flow with lifetimes spanning fi
ve orders of magnitude. We also show that there is a regime where Taylor-Couette flow shares many of the decay characteristics observed in other shear flows, including Poisson statistics and the coexistence of laminar and turbulent patches. Our data suggest that characteristic decay times increase super-exponentially with increasing Reynolds number but remain bounded in agreement with the most recent data from pipe flow and with a recent theoretical model. This suggests that, contrary to the prevailing view, turbulence in linearly stable shear flows may be generically transient.
Plane Couette flow transitions to turbulence for Re~325 even though the laminar solution with a linear profile is linearly stable for all Re (Reynolds number). One starting point for understanding this subcritical transition is the existence of invar
iant sets in the state space of the Navier Stokes equation, such as upper and lower branch equilibria and periodic and relative periodic solutions, that are quite distinct from the laminar solution. This article reports several heteroclinic connections between such objects and briefly describes a numerical method for locating heteroclinic connections. Computing such connections is essential for understanding the global dynamics of spatially localized structures that occur in transitional plane Couette flow. We show that the nature of streaks and streamwise rolls can change significantly along a heteroclinic connection.
