Experiments have been conducted on the circular Couette system,established recently in our laboratory.By using an.optical-electronic modulation feedback Laser Doppler Velocimetry technique,the velocity time series dat...
The techniques of the laser light scattering and the flow visualization are used to study the bifurcations and chaos in a circular Couette system.Two different routes to turbulence are observed.A physical understandin...
