Consider the steady laminar flow between the coaxial cylinders shown below. The inner cylinder rotates with angular velocity Omega and the outer cylinder is stationary. The no-slip condition applies at the inner and outer cylinder surfaces and we are considering the cylinders to be very long in the z-direction, hence we may ignore edge effects near the top and bottom surfaces.

Consider two concentric, infinitely long cylinders. The cylinders are oriented such that the center-line is along the z-axis, and the radii exist in the r-direction. The inner cylinder has a radius of ra and the outer cylinder has a radius Tb. The inner cylinder rotates with an angular velocity of w whereas the outer cylinder is stationary. There is no pressure gradient applied nor gravity. The fluid contained between the cylinders is assumed to be Netwonian, incompressible, isotropic and isothermal....

Consider two concentric, infinitely long cylinders. The cylinders are oriented such that the center-line is along the z-axis, and the radii exist in the r-direction. The inner cylinder has a radius of ra and the outer cylinder has a radius rb. The inner cylinder moves in the positive z-direction with a velocity W while the outer cylinder is held stationary.
