EN The paper reports on the DNS results of the flow in co- and counter-rotating coaxial cylinders of aspect ratios Γ = H/(R2 − R1) between 3.8 and 4.05, and radius ratio η = R1/R2 = 0.5, with the end-walls rotating with the angular velocity of the inner cylinder Ω1. The computations are performed for a wide range of rotational number RΩ = (1 − η)(Re1 + Re2)/(ηRe2 − Re1), from − 1.069 to 0.0, which includes both the linearly unstable flows and the Rayleigh stable flows. The considered Reynolds numbers of the inner cylinder Re1 = Ω1R1(R2 − R1)/ν are up to 3000 (Re2 = Ω2R2(R2 − R1)/ν). The obtained flow structures appearing at various stages of the laminar-turbulent transition and the radial profiles of statistical parameters are discussed in the light of the data published by other authors. The critical bifurcation lines are determined as functions of the inner and outer cylinder Reynolds numbers. Many interesting phenomena have been found.
