St=10 St=32 St=50 St=100
Movie 1. Animations of the streamfunction ψ (top row) and the azimuthal vorticity η (bottom row) of the basic state at four St values as specified, for amplitudes Re very close to the critical value.


B1: (Re, St)=(340, 10) B2: (Re, St)=(520, 32) A2: (Re, St)=(700, 100)
Movie 2. Isosurfaces of radial vorticity (solid) and of azimuthal vorticity (translucent) for the synchronous states.


MRW1 MSW1
Movie 3. Isosurfaces of radial vorticity (solid) and of azimuthal vorticity (translucent) for the quasi=periodic states MRW1 and MSW1, both at (Re, St)=(615, 50); only MRW1 is stable.


MRW1 strobed MSW1 strobed
Movie 4. Same as in movie 3, but strobed once per period.
