Abstract :
In the present study, the hydrodynamic behaviours of the Couette Taylor flow in different flow regimes were
investigated, experimentally and numerically.In this research, the effects of Taylor number on wavelength of
the flow, which are two important hydrodynamic charactristics of the Couette Taylor flow, are investigated
both experimentally and numerically in order to study the stability of the flow and formation of vortices. In
addition, the velocity and pressure variation of the the flow between two cylinders were considered and
compared for different Taylor numbers to understand the behaviuor of the flow.
