By numerically computing the steady axisymmetric flow of helium II confined inside a finite-aspect-ratio Couette annulus, we determine the transition from Ekman flow to Taylor vortex flow as a function of temperature and aspect ratio. We find that th... Read More about Transition from Ekman flow to Taylor vortex flow in superfluid helium.
