Abstract

Open-problems on spin-up flow of an incompressible homogeneous fluid have been reviewed. Characteristics of spin-up are followed by a summary of well-established previous papers along the order: linear spin-up, weakly nonlinear spin-up and non-linear spin-up. Discussions are given to open problems from previous analytic theories as compared with full numerical solutions for Navier-Stokes equation.
