Abstract: | The stability of the flow of pure superfluid helium between two rotating concentric cylinders is considered. In contrast to the case of classical rotating Couette flow we find that non-axisymmetric disturbances are more important than axisymmetric disturbances. We also find that linear instability can occur when the outer cylinder rotates and the inner cylinder is at rest, a situation which is linearly stable in the classical fluid case. |
