Abstract
The properties of fluid flow in the Taylor-Couette experiment between weakly counter-rotating cylinders are investigated experimentally. Attention has been focused on the first instabilities and the detailed structure of the occurring flow states. Modern measurement techniques like LDV and PIV have been used together with visual observations to examine the flow patterns and the stability thresholds very precisely. Our experimental results had been compared with theoretical investigations.
