On the formation of axial corner vortices during spin-up in a cylinder of square cross-section

We present experimental and theoretical results for the adjustment of a fluid (homogeneous or linearly stratified), which is initially rotating as a solid body with angular frequency Ω−ΔΩ, to a nonlinear increase ΔΩ in the angular frequency of all bounding surfaces. The fluid is contained in a cylin...
