Abstract
The wavy vortex state of Taylor flow has been examined with use of a novel linear optical scanning apparatus which allows the wavy vortex flow to be studied in considerable detail: Measurements of the wavy mode amplitude and pair-size distribution show that characteristic lengths scale with the size of the apparatus.Keywords
