Abstract
A viscous fluid is confined between two parallel, infinite planes which perform torsional oscillations of small amplitude about a common axis. The resulting flow is studied for the case of high-frequency oscillations, when boundary layers form adjacent to moving surfaces. Particular analysis is made of the second-order, steady, radial-axial streaming. It is shown that in certain circumstances viscosity may be effective throughout the domain of flow, while in others there is a region in which viscosity is negligible.Keywords
