In the present work we investigate turbulent differentially rotating Taylor-Couette flow. In a wide gap experiment we measure the torque effecting on the inner cylinder wall for a wide range of angular velocities of both cylinders. The dependency on shear Reynolds number is reported. We find a maximum in torque for counter rotating cylinders and compare our experimental results with numerical investigations.
