Abstract
A representative set of experimental observations is presented demonstrating a remarkably large number of distinct steady flows that all subsist on the same boundary conditions. Commentary on the significance of these and related findings re-emphasizes previous proposals about the interpretation of the Taylor experiment.Keywords
