In the Reynolds number range 8 771⩽Re⩽13 300, we find three distinctly different solutions for flow between finite, corotating disks. The basic flow, present for all Reynolds numbers, displays symmetry with respect to midplane, while the other two solutions are asymmetric, exist only within the specified Reynolds number range, and are mirror images of one another. These solutions were obtained in mixed formulation of the steady state problem. To circumvent the Babushka–Brezzi stability criteria yet solve for steady state, we follow Zienkiewicz and Woo and adjoin the time asymptotic form of the equation of mass conservation, in artificial compressibility form, to the steady state Navier–Stokes equations. The system so obtained is nonsingular and yields to easy solution by Galerkin’s method. To follow particular solution branches, we employ parametric continuation.
