Figure Legend:
Definition sketch of two cylinders and the coordinate system. The clockwise direction of θ is defined as positive. The radii of the inner and outer cylinders are R1 and R2, respectively; δ is the shear layer thickness, ur and uθ are radial and angular velocities, respectively. The inner cylinder rotates counterclockwise at a constant speed Ω, and the outer cylinder is stationary.
