| Abstract: | The problem of laminar fluid flow in an asymmetric annular gap has been solved in earlier work in an approximation with error difficult to gauge. In the present paper, the problem is solved exactly. The velocity distribution of the flow is obtained, the mean velocity is determined, and an exact expression is found for the coefficient which determines the flow rate. An approximate expression proposed for this coefficient holds asymptotically at small eccentricities. The results are compared with experimental data.Translated from Izvestiya Akademil Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 16–20, January–February, 1984. |
