Abstract
The modified Oseen method is extended to provide a description of the boundary layers which accompany certain swirling flows over a rigid boundary in a rotating container. By comparison with known results it is shown that a refined procedure has errors of the order of 1% when the inviscid flow is a rigid body rotation; it is anticipated that, for the more interesting flows, the error is of the order of 30%.Keywords
