Pressure Measurements in a Rapidly Rotating and Coning, Highly Viscous Fluid

Abstract

The pressure on the end wall of a rapidly rotating and coning liquid- filled cylinder was measured. A gyroscope was used to generate the spin and coning motion. The Reynolds number based upon the radius, gyroscope spin, and liquid kinematics viscosity was 8.8.
