Three-tori solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations and their dynamics are
elucidated by use of a global Poincare map. The flow is contained in a fini
te annular gap between two concentric cylinders, driven by the steady rotat
ion and axial harmonic oscillations of the inner cylinder. The three-tori s
olutions undergo global bifurcations, including a new gluing bifurcation, a
ssociated with homoclinic and heteroclinic connections to unstable solution
s (two-tori). These unstable two-tori act as organizing centers for the thr
ee-tori dynamics. A discrete space-time symmetry influences the dynamics.
