The three-dimensional flow contained in a rapidly rotating circular split cylinder is studied numerically solving the Navier--Stokes equations. The cylinder is completely filled with fluid and is split at the midplane. Three different types of boundary conditions were imposed, leading to a variety of instabilities and complex flow dynamics. The first configuration has a strong background rotation and a small differential rotation between the two halves. The axisymmetric flow was first studied identifying boundary layer instabilities which produce inertial waves under some conditions. Limit cycle states and quasiperiodic states were found, including some period doubling bifurcations. Then, a three-dimensional study was conducted identifying low and high zimuthal wavenumber rotating waves due to Görtler and Tollmien-Schlichting type instabilities. Over most of the parameter space considered, quasiperiodic states were found where both types of instabilities were present. In the second configuration, both cylinder halves are in exact counter-rotation, producing an O(2) symmetry in the system. The basic state flow dynamic is dominated by the shear layer created in the midplane. By changing the speed rotation and the aspect ratio of the cylinder, the flow loses symmetries in a variety of ways creating static waves, rotating waves, direction reversing waves and slow-fast pulsing waves. The bifurcations, including infinite-period bifurcations, were characterized and the flow dynamics was elucidated. Additionally, preliminary experimental results for this case are presented. In the third set up, with oscillatory boundary conditions, inertial wave beams were forced imposing a range of frequencies. These beams emanate from the corner of the cylinder and from the split at the midplane, leading to destructive/constructive interactions which produce peaks in vorticity for some specific frequencies. These frequencies are shown to be associated with the resonant Kelvin modes. Furthermore, a study of the influence of imposing a phase difference between the oscillations of the two halves of the cylinder led to the interesting result that different Kelvin modes can be excited depending on the phase difference.

A rotating cylinder in a stream produces a circulation which is regarded as the cause of the Magnus force. The problem is to find the dependence of the circulation on the rotational speed of the cylinder. This question is treated in the present report for a stationary flow about a circular cylinder with the axis perpendicular to the direction of the stream under the assumption that the flow in the boundary layer is laminar. Two approximate methods are used for the calculation of the boundary layer. One is due to Burgers and the other is an adaptation of the Polhusend method. In the case of only one stagnation line on the surface of the cylinder the boundary layer is evaluation numerically, the profiles and the shearing stress computer.
