Abstract
Numerical calculations are made of the torque required to sustain a wavy-vortex flow between rotating cylinders. The results are found to agree well with experimental work of Donnelly (1958), and give further confirmation of the validity of Davey, DiPrima & Stuart's (1968) analysis.Keywords
