The MHD stability problem for dissipative Couette flow in a narrow gap between corotating, conducting cylinders with an axial magnetic field is solved exactly. Results are presented for an arbitrary magnetic field; in particular, previous results on the zero and infinite magnetic field limits are verified.

Abstract The stability problem of a stationary circular flow of an ideal fluid between two coaxial cylinders is considered. It is shown that Rayleigh's circulation criterion is necessary and sufficient for the total kinetic energy of an axisymmetric disturbance to be bounded in time.

Abstract The Taylor-Couette flow between two rotating coaxial cylinders remains an ideal tool for understanding the mechanism of the transition from laminar to turbulent regime in rotating flow for the scientific community. We present for different Taylor numbers a set of three-dimensional numerical investigations of the stability and transition from Couette flow to Taylor vortex regime of a viscous incompressible fluid (liquid sodium) between two concentric cylinders with the inner one rotating and the outer one at rest. We seek the onset of the first instability and we compare the obtained results for different velocity rates. We calculate the corresponding Taylor number in order to show its effect on flow patterns and pressure field.

In the first part of this paper opportunity has been taken to make some adjustments in certain general formulae of previous papers, the necessity for which appeared in discussions with other workers on this subject. The general results thus amended are then applied to a general discussion of the stability problem including the effect of the trailing wake which was deliberately excluded in the previous paper. The general conclusion is that to a first approximation the wake, as usually assumed, has little or no effect on the reality of the roots of the period equation, but that it may introduce instability of the oscillations, if the centre of gravity of the element is not sufficiently far forward. During the discussion contact is made with certain partial results recently obtained by von Karman and Sears, which are shown to be particular cases of the general formulae. An Appendix is also added containing certain results on the motion of a vortex behind a moving cylinder, which were obtained to justify certain of the assumptions underlying the trail theory.

We prove that the classes of languages accepted by systolic automata over t-ary trees (t-STA) are always either equal or incomparable if one varies t. We introduce systolic tree automata with base (T(b)-STA), a subclass of STA with interesting properties of modularity, and we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the equivalence between a T(b)-STA and a t-STA, for a given base b. Finally, we show that the stability problem for T(b)-ST A is decidible.
