Abstract

Integral relations are derived for steady, incompressible recirculating motions with small viscous forces. The circuit time of a fluid particle on a closed streamline in steady, inviscid flow is shown to be the same for all the closed streamlines on a surface of constant total head.

The discontinuities of velocity and velocity gradient that occur in the motion of inviscid fluid filling a closed, rotating cylinder set in a rotating support with the two rotation axes slightly misaligned are then investigated.
