Abstract

Velocity distributions within the boundary layer of a swirling flow of incompressible fluid in a convergent conical nozzle have been investigated. Theoretical calculations with boundary conditions more appropriate to physically existent situations discounted the existence of 'super-velocities’ within the boundary layer. Parallel experimental investigations demonstrated an interdependence of core and boundary-layer flows which precluded the maintenance of the flow conditions required by the analysis.
