Abstract
The paper presents solutions of the laminar flow of a Newtonian fluid between cylinders with non-coincident axes, where the core cylinder rotates about its axis. The solutions have been obtained by means of an adapted version of the finite-difference procedure of Gosman et al. (1). The results show that the inclusion of convective transport terms (which in previous analyses have been neglected or included only approximately) may have an appreciable effect upon the flow field and, in particular, upon the pressure field around cylinders.Keywords
