Abstract
The Couette-Taylor problem is described in this section and our laser Doppler velocimetry studies of transitions in Couette-Taylor flow are presented in the next section, which also includes a summary of three other recent studies of flow spectra in the transition region. In the final section the experimental results will be compared with the behavior found in a numerical studies of a finite-dimensional mathematical model.

It should be noted, however, that all these experiments were done for a radius ratio a/b=7/8. The transition sequence can be quite different for significantly smaller radius ratios.
