Abstract Two numerical models have been constructed and used to investigate the formation of secondary vortices in axisymmetrically forced rotating flows. The vortex flow examined is that developed in a laboratory vortex simulator where secondary vortices have been produced and extensively studied. The first numerical model generated a collection of steady-state, axisymmetric, two-dimensional vortex flows for a range of swirl ratios. The second model tested those flows for instability by simulating the behavior of small-amplitude, linear perturbations superimposed on the flows: amplification of the perturbations indicated instability, whereas damping indicated stability. The results of the instability study show that the vortex is stable for the lowest swirl ratios but that, above a certain value, instability persists indefinitely. The most rapidly growing wavenumber shifts steadily with increasing swirl from 1 to approximately 5 in the swirl range investigated. Growth rates were found to be high enough f...
