Abstract
Secondary and tertiary states of fluid flow in a layer between
two plates in relative
motion and rotating about a normal axis of rotation are studied numerically
for a
wide range of parameters. Plane Couette flow without rotation and the single
Ekman
layer at a rigid plate above a quiescent fluid half-space are obtained
as limiting cases.
A Galerkin method is used for the investigation of the bifurcation structures
of the
problem. A Chebyshev collocation scheme is used for following the evolution
of
time-dependent states of the flow. Comparisons are made with experimental
observations
as well as with previous studies of particular parameter limits.
