Boundary layer structure identified at high rotation
Flow becomes more axisymmetric with increased rotation
Abstract
We study the two-dimensional stationary Navier-Stokes equations describing flows around a rotating disk. The existence of unique solutions is established for any rotating speed, and qualitative effects of a large rotation are described precisely by exhibiting a boundary layer structure and an axisymmetrization of the flow.
