Abstract

For large values of the Reynolds number Re two terms of the asymptotic series for the torque have been calculated. They are of order Re−1/2 and Re−13/14, respectively. The second term has been obtained after investigation of the double-deck structure which is present near the edge of the disk over a length of order Re−3/7.
