Synopsis

If von Kármán's substitution is made in the Navier-Stokes equations, and boundary conditions corresponding to a flow in all of space with constant angular velocities at infinity are imposed, a boundary value problem analgous to those for flow above a rotating disk and between rotating disks is obtained. It is shown here that this problem has no solution.
