April 15, 2013, 13:21	What is Stewartson Layer??	#1
akash New Member Akash Join Date: Jan 2013 Location: India Posts: 20 Rep Power: 13	Can someone explain in brief what is "Stewartson Layer" in context to flow in a cylindrical cavity with a rotating endwall. I read in a paper that at high Reynolds numbers due to centrifugal instability of Stewartson layer Taylor-Gortler vortices are formed. So if anyone can throw some light on this, I would be very grateful. Also please suggest some good paper/literature explaining the basics of centrifugal instability and Stewartson layer in context to flow in a cylindrical cavity.
