Synchronization in turbulent spherical Couette flow under the action of nonuniform rotation

Turbulent flows of viscous incompressible fluid in rotating spherical layer in the presence of synchronization are under consideration. Numerical results are presented. Synchronization of turbulent flow is due to the action of periodical modulation of the angular velocity of inner spherical boundary. The angular velocity of outer spherical boundary is constant. Obtained results were compared with experimental data. The interval of modulation amplitudes was determined where synchronization is followed by intermittency “chaos – chaos”.
