Abstract
A complex scenario of transitions was predicted, leading from the base steady-state, top-down symmetric flow to turbulence through intermediate regimes which included steady-state asymmetric and time-periodic flows. For all curvatures, at the highest value of ReÏ investigated (50) the flow was turbulent and exhibited top-down symmetric time averages.
