Taylor-Couette-Poiseuille Flow 4.4.2.1 Fundamental Hydrodynamics 

The study of laminar vortical structures has been well documented in the Taylor-Couette (TC) flow for an extensive range of gap sizes [33]. Of particular interest are the experimentally determined boundaries in the map of flow regimes [34], and specifically the flow regime where the propagating helical vortex and stationary toroidal vortex modes become stable simultaneously and interact in the axisym- 

The flow domain of TCP can be described by two dimensionless hydrodynamic parameters, corresponding to the rotational speed of the inner cylinder and the imposed axial flow rate the Taylor number, To, and the axial Reynolds number, Re, respectively
