| Abstract: | A circular cylindrical vertical tank is partially filled with a liquid (Water) and a gas (air) above it. The top lid of the container rotates around the cylinder axis and induces a flow in the gas and the liquid. Above a critical rotational speed a large amplitude circulating gravity wave forms. The two phase flow problem will be reduced to a free surface single phase flow problem and the critical parameters, when the axis-symmetric flow becomes unstable with respect to the circulating gravity wave will be determined.
