Abstract

An investigation is made of the stability of time-periodic azimuthal flows between coaxial, circular cylinders. The disturbance equations are linearized and consideration is limited to the effects of axisymmetric disturbances in a fluid with zero viscosity. It is found convenient to examine separately the cases of flows with zero time-mean and non-zero time-mean respectively. Some remarks are made concerning the definition of stability in relation to such flows and their general stability characteristics are evaluated and discussed.
