Similarity solution in the study of flow and heat transfer between two rotating spheres with constant angular velocities (Q846202)

This study presents a numerical solution of the similarity equations of the steady-state motion and of the heat transfer of an incompressible viscous fluid filling the annuli of two concentric rotating spheres maintained at different temperatures and rotating with constant angular velocities. Except the terms concerned with the energy equation, the results are similar to those already existing in the literature for the Navier-Stokes equations, but they involve less computational complexities.
