Description

The stationary flow of an incompressible fluid confined in between two rotating cylinders of different radii and angular velocities is a well-known benchmark problem in numerical fluid dynamics. For low relative angular velocities and for a small gap (relative to the diameters of the cylinders), i.e., for a Reynolds number, the flow is steady and purely azimuthal, for which case an analytical solution exists.
