Abstract
Consideration is given to the possibility of overstability in the Couette flow of viscous and elastico-viscous liquids. The relevant linear perturbation equations are solved numerically using an initial-value technique. It is shown that over-stability is not possible in the case of Newtonian liquids for the cases considered. In contrast, overstability is to be expected in the case of moderately-elastic Maxwell liquids. The Taylor number associated with the overstable mode decreases steadily as the amount of elasticity in the liquid increases, and it is concluded that highly elastic Maxwell liquids can be very unstable indeed.
