In 1923, the published G. I. Taylor's seminal paper on the stability of what we now call Taylor-Couette flow. In the century since the paper was published, Taylor's ground-breaking linear stability analysis of fluid flow between two rotating cylinders has had an enormous impact on the field of fluid mechanics. The paper's influence has extended to general rotating flows, geophysical flows and astrophysical flows, not to mention its significance in firmly establishing several foundational concepts in fluid mechanics that are now broadly accepted. This two-part issue includes review articles and research articles spanning a broad range of contemporary research areas, all rooted in Taylor's landmark paper. This article is part of the theme issue 'Taylor-Couette and related flows on the centennial of Taylor's seminal paper (Part 2)'.
1923 年,该期刊发表了 G.I.泰勒关于我们现在称之为泰勒-库埃特流的稳定性的开创性论文。自该论文发表以来的一个世纪里,泰勒对两个旋转圆柱之间流体流动的开创性线性稳定性分析对流体力学领域产生了巨大影响。这篇论文的影响已经扩展到一般的旋转流动、地球物理流动和天体物理流动,更不用说它在牢固确立几个现在被广泛接受的流体力学基本概念方面的重要性了。本期特刊包括综述文章和研究文章,涵盖了广泛的当代研究领域,所有这些都源于泰勒的这篇具有里程碑意义的论文。本文是特刊“泰勒-库埃特流及相关流动百年纪念(第 2 部分)”主题的一部分。
