Abstract
The steady motion of a viscous fluid contained between two concentric spheres which rotate about a common axis with different angular velocities is considered. A high-order analytic perturbation solution, through terms of order Re7, is obtained for low Reynolds numbers. For larger Reynolds numbers an approximate Legendre polynomial series representation is used to reduce the governing system of equations to a non-linear ordinary differential equation boundary-value problem which is solved numerically. The resulting flow pattern and the torque required to rotate the spheres are presented for various cases considered.
