text: 'We investigate the Taylor-Couette system where the radius ratio is close
to unity. Systematically increasing the Reynolds number, we observe a number of
previously known transitions, such as one from the classical Taylor vortex flow
(TVF) to wavy vortex flow (WVF) and the transition to fully developed turbulence.
Prior to the onset of turbulence, we observe intermittent bursting patterns of
localized turbulent patches, confirming the experimentally observed pattern of
very short wavelength bursts (VSWBs). A striking finding is that, for a Reynolds
number larger than that for the onset of VSWBs, a new type of intermittently bursting
behavior emerges: patterns of azimuthally closed rings of various orders. We call
them ring-bursting patterns, which surround the cylinder completely but remain
localized and separated in the axial direction through nonturbulent wavy structures.
We employ a number of quantitative measures including the cross-flow energy to
characterize the ring-bursting patterns and to distinguish them from the background
flow. These patterns are interesting because they do not occur in the wide-gap
Taylor-Couette flow systems. The narrow-gap regime is less studied but certainly
deserves further attention to gain deeper insights into complex flow dynamics
in fluids.'
