[{"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"We report a direct-numerical-simulation study of the Taylor-Couette flow in the quasi-Keplerian regime at shear Reynolds numbers up to (105). Quasi-Keplerian rotating flow has been investigated for decades as a simplified model system to study the origin of turbulence in accretion disks that is not fully understood. The flow in this study is axially periodic and thus the experimental end-wall effects on the stability of the flow are avoided. Using optimal linear perturbations as initial conditions, our simulations find no sustained turbulence: the strong initial perturbations distort the velocity profile and trigger turbulence that eventually decays."}],"doi":"10.1063/1.4981525","day":"01","date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:08:15Z","year":"2017","citation":{"mla":"Shi, Liang, et al. “Hydrodynamic Turbulence in Quasi Keplerian Rotating Flows.” <i>Physics of Fluids</i>, vol. 29, no. 4, 044107, American Institute of Physics, 2017, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4981525\">10.1063/1.4981525</a>.","short":"L.
