Popis: An experimental investigation of low Reynolds number flow in a rotating tank indicates that in some cases closed eddies in Stokes flow are very sensitive to geometry, especially if the eddies are “slender”. It is not known if such flows are merely extremely sensitive to the bounding geometry, or if they are actually geometrically unstable.
