In particular, it is shown that as the Taylor number crosses the critical number, the system undergoes either a continuous or a jump dynamic transition, dictated by the sign of a computable, nondimensional parameter R. In addition, it is also shown that the new transition states have the Taylor vortex type of flow structure, which is structurally stable.展开更多
