Abstract

We present preliminary kinematic analyses of Taylor–Couette flow. We consider deformation of a Newtonian incompressible ductile material inside rotating horizontal listric (concentric circular) boundaries. The velocity profile is curved indicating non-uniform shear strain but leads to the same shear sense. Each material point on progressive shear keeps increasing shear strain linearly with time. A curve of no movement, the ‘neutral curve’, may exist inside the shear zone. Irregular geometries of initially regular markers and their individual non-matching strain paths indicate inhomogeneous deformaion in such Taylor–Couette flow.
