We consider the effect of high rotation rates on two liquid layers that initially form concentric cylinders, centred on the axis of rotation. The configuration may be thought of as a fluid-fluid centrifuge. There are two types of perturbation to the... Read More about Centrifugally forced Rayleigh–Taylor instability.

Spherical vortices in rotating fluids (2018)
Journal Article
Scase, M. M., & Terry, H. L. (2018). Spherical vortices in rotating fluids. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 846, Article R4-1-R4-12. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2018.334

A popular model for a generic fat-cored vortex ring or eddy is Hill's spherical vortex (Phil. Trans. Roy. Soc. A vol. 185, 1894, p. 213). This well-known solution of the Euler equations may be considered a special case of the doubly-infinite family... Read More about Spherical vortices in rotating fluids.
