Three particle image velocimetry setups consisting of one horizontal and one vertical light sheet as well as eight cameras were utilized for data acquisition. Due to the tank’s diameter of 13m and set rotational periods, the Reynolds numbers ranged between Re = 500,000 − 4,000,000. These very high Reynolds numbers expand the previous numerical and experimental investigations regarding the scaling of dynamic phenomena in the boundary layer.During spin-down, Görtler vortices have been confirmed to be the primary instability mechanism followed by Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. This is in accordance with literature on spatially developing boundary layer flows. An algorithm has been developed to identify the streamwise oriented Görtler vortices and the subsequent transition to turbulence from characteristic patterns in the vorticity field. It has been found - in contrast to the previous simulations and experiments - that for the investigated parameter space shear instabilities due to the small wall curvature also lead to laminar-turbulent transition during spin-up.
