Fluid motion in a rotating sliced cylinder
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Abstract
Steady motion of a viscous incompressible fluid in a rotating circular cylinder with a sloping bottom is investigated at low Ekman number. The flow is driven by a lightly faster rotation of the top, and non-linear inertia terms are neglected.
A solution is found for a shallow container of small bottom slope. The side-wall boundary layer is shown to have an almost axi-symmetric component as well as the asymmetric layer found by Pedlosky and Greenspan (3). A further asymmetry in the interior flow is produced by the presence of the second component of the side-wall boundary layer.
