Abstract

The formation and transient dynamics of Stewartson layers are examined herein. The results are applied to a transient rotating fluid flow for which (i) Stewartson layers are presumed to be important, and (ii) the Ekman layers are found to be non-divergent, and hence unable to induce the crucial secondary circulation occurring in the spin-up process. The steady state is nevertheless reached after a spin-up time.
