    Instability hierarchy in a fluid. In the Taylor experiment, a liquid layer is situated between two coaxial cylinders, the inner one rotating. a) At small rotation speed, a roll pattern appears, where each roll moves outwards and then inwards. b) At an increased critical rotation speed of the inner cylinder, an oscillatory motion of the rolls sets in. c) At a still higher rotation speed, the oscillatory motion becomes more complicated. d) The fluid finally shows weak turbulence, that may be related to chaos. (After Fenstermacher et al. (1979)).
