SECONDARY FLOW IN A VISCOUS VORTEX,

Abstract

The decay for t > 0 of a potential swirling flow is studied at t = 0, when a constant positive value is suddenly imposed on the kinematic viscosity. The flow at this instant is taken to be a potential vortex swirling on top of an infinite stationary horizontal plate. The fluid is assumed to have a constant density, and the flow is laminar and axially symmetric. The interaction of the axial boundary layer flow and the plate boundary layer is studied.
