Multistability and Memory Effect in a Highly Turbulent Flow: Experimental Evidence for a Global Bifurcation
We report experimental evidence of a global bifurcation on a highly turbulent von K\'arm\'an flow. The mean flow presents multiple solutions: the canonical symmetric solution becomes marginally unstable towards a flow which breaks the basic symmetry of the driving apparatus even at very large Reynolds numbers. The global bifurcation between …
