Abstract

A numerical exploration of multiple-cell solutions for the flow between a rotating and a stationary disk is carried out systematically by the continuation method. The paper confirms and extends the work of Mellor, Chapple & Stokes. The results include the discovery of one-, two-, three- and five-cell solution regions which have not been reported before.
