title: Addendum to "Two-fluid confined flow in a cylinder driven by a rotating endwall".
abstract: In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. E 85, 016308 (2012)], we reported on numerical simulations of swirling two-phase flows in which for cases where the viscosity of the upper fluid is sufficiently smaller than that of the lower fluid, a small region of reversed flow is present on the interface. In this Brief Report, we show that the reported reversed flow is grid converged and comment further on its physical origin.
