Abstract

The free shear layer stemming from a discontinuity in angular velocity at either of two parallel disks in almost rigid rotation with fluid between is re-examined. The sole discrepancy between theory and experiment is unaffected by higher-order approximation unless curvature effects are included, when it is reduced.
