Taylor-Couette vortex flow with a low-aspect-ratio has characteristics such as the different vortex structure, because of a boundary layer of the top and bottom wall and the acceleration of the inner cylinder. In a case of large aspect ratio of Taylor Couette flow, the mechanism of the vortex like a chaotic flow has been shown by Fenstermacher and Takeda. The purpose of this study is to understand the flow mechanism with Taylor Couette system of the low-aspect-ratio using an ultrasound measurement and a numerical simulation. In this report, we mainly analyzed the process of transition to turbulent flow by using a spectra analysis in a radial and an axial direction.
