Taylor–Couette flow refers to the flow of a viscous fluid that occurs between two concentric cylinders, where one cylinder is rotating while the other is stationary or rotating at a different rate. This type of flow is named after Geoffrey Taylor and Henri Couette, who studied the behavior of fluids in this configuration. ### Key Characteristics of Taylor–Couette Flow: 1. **Geometry**: The system consists of two coaxial cylinders with a gap filled with a fluid.
