Laboratory experiments with a rotating cylindrical annulus arereported that reveal a prograde jet, which is adjacent to a (longitu-dinally) librating inner straight cylindrical wall. Here, wall libration isrealised as a time-harmonic modulation of the inner cylinder’s rota-tion rate. The outer cylindrical wall and bottom and top lids rotatewith constant angular velocity. The main purpose of our study is tocontribute to a qualitative and quantitative understanding of non-linearities that are present in oscillating, but centrifugally stable,vertical boundary layers frequently encountered in rotating wall-bounded flows. We consider a problem that is in a sense comple-mentary to that of previous works that focused on oscillating Ekmanlayers but neglected the vertical Stokes−Stewartson layers. A sim-ple analytical model is proposed that is able to predict the magni-tude and spatial structure of the emerging prograde near-wall jet interms of nonlinearity inherent in the inner cylinder’s boundary layerdynamics.
