Abstract

The flow of an elastico-viscous liquid contained between two concentric spheres which are rotating with the same angular velocity about axes passing through the centre of the spheres is considered. The angle between these axes is small. The solution is obtained by expanding the velocity components in terms of a small parameter α2, which is usually associated with problems involving oscillatory flows. The analysis is shown to have a direct application to the Balance Rheometer. In particular, it is shown that inertial effects in this rheometer are likely to be very small.
