Abstract
Oscillating solid bodies have frequently been used for studying the properties of normal and superfluid helium. In particular, the transition from laminar flow to turbulence has attracted much interest recently. The purpose of this note is to review several central features of this transition in oscillatory flow, which have been inaccurately formulated in some recent work.
