| Abstract: | Taking, as an example, the solution of the drag problem of a slitlike channel, the change in flow characteristics with increase in intensity of rotation is shown. The form of the asymptotic drag formulas is determined for rapidly rotating channels with sides in a finite ratio, at Rossby numbers of the order of unity. Good agreement with experimental data is found. The final form of the asymptotic solution, valid at small Rossby numbers, is found.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, pp. 42–49, November–December, 1978.This considerably restricts the range of permissible values of E for channels elongated in the direction of the axis of rotation. |
