Abstract
The flow of a viscous, incompressible fluid
between two eccentric rotating porous cylinders with
suction/injection at both the cylinders, for very small clearance
ratio is studied. The expressions for various flow characteristics
are obtained using perturbation analysis. Streamlines and pressure
plots are shown graphically for various values of flow parameters
and discussed.
