Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology on Instagram: "Taylor-Couette flows appear in closed systems between two, independently rotating cylinders – so-called ‘hurricanes-in-a-lab’. Simple to create yet exhibiting extremely complex fluid behaviors, these turbulent flows are pivotal across many fields, from weather forecasting to studying the formation of planets in the accretion discs of newborn stars. Using a Taylor-Couette flow setup nine years in the making, OIST researchers have now solv
