The question of the existence of helical waves in fluid flow through a circular pipe is discussed. In the case of pipe flow forced only by an axial pressure gradient, direct simulations have failed to find any self‐sustaining helical waves. The effect of residual swirl in the inlet flow is investigated, by performing linear stability calculations and direct simulations of a forced basic flow. The results are qualitatively similar to that of flow in a rotating pipe, in which stable helical waves are known to exist. These results suggest that residual rotation may be an important mechanism in triggering laminar‐turbulent transition in circular pipe flow.
