Abstract
The wave height and wavelength of wavy Taylor vortices have been measured in a fluid column of aspect ratio 31 and radius ratio 0.88. The fluid was either water or 10 cS silicone oil. The wave height as well as the wavelength were found to increase with Reynolds number until 1.8Rc for a state with 15 pairs of vortices and four azimuthal waves. Subsequent changes in the wave height and azimuthal wavenumber seem to be primarily caused by changes in the number of vortices which are caused by the increase of the wavelength.
