Abstract
By calculating the two-dimensional solutions and the second-order bifu rcation analysis of the mean fic lct equations of a two-dimensional id eal fluid, we are able to complete the phase diagram of coherent corte x formation in an annulus, which we have partially calculated in a pre vious paper [Phys. Rev. E 50, 2022 (1994)]. The complete phase diagram demonstrates the advantage of the statistical mechanics approach to d etermine the final equilibrium directly from the initial condition.
