One thing I’ve not been able to get a clear idea of – do you get the same answers if you rotate the outer cylinder rather than the inner cylinder (assuming the same Reynolds number)? Somehow I gathered they were different.

Then there’s the case when it’s not laminar. First you get stable circumferential vortices that are still laminar, but eventually these start wobbling and turn into turbulent vortices.

When I am old enough to be blaring NiN at the nursing home, insisting they tint my hair green, and paint my nails black, i’ll be wearing a tasteful bejeweled goatse bracelet.

Funny where my mind goes. It’s actually not a good idea to wear dark nail polish when old and dealing with health issues, because looking at the nail bed is a quick easy way for medical staff to determine basics like whether or not you’re getting enough oxygen.

I typed this public service announcement with my very dark blue-purple nails! :wink:
