Abstract

In this paper, analytical calculation expressions of the pressure distribution, velocity distribution and the rate of the flow between conical surfaces are found by using the method of iterative approximate solution when the inertia terms of the Navier-Stokes equations in conical coordinates are taken into account. Furthermore, we compare the centrifugal flow with the centripetal flow of axisymmetrical passing flow.
