Couette Flow

The flow of fluid in an annulus between two concentric spinning cylinders. There is azimuthal symmetry and the motion will be purely azimuthal, so the solution will be given by the Navier-Stokes equations in cylindrical coordinates with zero body forces and with terms involving the velocity and pressure derivatives with respect to z and equal to zero, as well as terms multiplied by .
