Shear-flow instability in a rotating fluid

The instability of a forced, circular shear layer in a rotating fluid has been studied experimentally and numerically. The experiments were performed with a shallow layer of water in a parabolic tank, in which it is possible to apply radial pumping and to model a geophysical beta-effect. A shear lay...
