The problem of stability of viscous flow between two rotating cylinders was treated theoretically and experimentally by Taylor (1923, 1936). After Taylor, the problem was considered and extended in several papers. Faxen (1928) discussed the convergence of Taylor’s expansions. Goldstein (1937) considered theoretically the case of flow between rotating cylinders under pressure. The question was also discussed by Jeffreys (1928) and Synge (1938). The problem was dealt with experimentally by Lewis (1927), Cornish (1933) and Fage (1938).
