An unsteady flow due to eccentrically rotating porous disk and a fluid at infinity (Q1092766)

An exact solution of the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations is obtained for the flow due to non-coaxial rotatings of a porous disk, executing non- torsional oscillations in its own plane, and a fluid at infinity. It is shown that the infinite number of solutions existing for a flow confined between two disks reduce to a single unique solution in the case of a single disk. The adjustment of the unsteady flow near the rotating disk to the flow at infinity rotating about a different axis is explained.
