Theoretical investigation of centrifugation mechanics in the free volume of a rotating fluid

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

The solution of the equations of the motion of particles in the free volume of a rotating fluid relative to inertial and noninertial coordinate systems has been investigated. It has been established that the centrifugation phenomenon is the drift caused by the action of crossed components of two physical forces: buoyancy force and hydrodynamic resistance.
