Abstract

The problem of the viscous incompressible fluid flow between two coaxial cylinders is considered in the case when the inner cylinder is rotates and the outer cylinder is stationary. The process of fluid flow is simulated by solving the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations. The computational algorithm is based on the finite volume method. The dependences of the dimensionless viscous torque from the Reynolds number and the radius ratio are established.
