The Centrifugal Instability of a Slender Rotating Cone

In this study, we provide a mathematical description of the onset of counter-rotating circular vortices observed for a family of slender rotating cones (of half-angles 15° or less) in quiescent fluid. In particular, we apply appropriate scalings in order to simplify the basic-flow profiles, which ar...
