Abstract
The flows generated by the time-periodic forcing of one or both cylinders of the Taylor-Couette system are of two types: either modulated or pulsed flows whether or not there exists a mean rotation. Their linear stability is analysed within the frame of Floquet theory which predicts synchronous or subharmonic instability modes, a phenomenon known as parametric resonance. The non linear dynamics of time-periodic Taylor vortex flow has been examined both by numerical simulations and through model equations. We shall report on the results of two analytical approaches. The first one due to Hall [18] is based on an amplitude equation which was then modified by Barenghi and Jones [5] to account for imperfections in the system. The second one is a Lorenz model derived by Kuhlmann et al. [22].
