The figures illustrate silicone drops rising slowly along the rotation axis of a rapidly rotating tank of water rotating at 60 rpm. Note the blocked regions, or `Taylor columns\u2019 accompanying the drop motion. A theoretical and experimental study of axial drop motion in rapidly rotating fluids is presented in a pair of papers:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/math.mit.edu\/~bush\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/PoF-Thesis.pdf\">Bush, Stone and Bloxham (1992)<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/math.mit.edu\/~bush\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Axial_Drop_Motion.pdf\">Bush, Bloxham and Stone (1993)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tw-text-wide has-small-font-size\">A review of this and related subsequent work is presented in&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/math.mit.edu\/~bush\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Particle-motion-1994.pdf\">Bush, Stone &amp; Tanzosh (1994)<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4782,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-geo","category-interfacial-flows","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Drop motion in rapidly rotating flows - John W.
