Extract

The equations of motion of an incompressible viscous fluid are given in a rotating helical co-ordinate system, which is non-orthogonal. Partial differential equations are derived for the boundary-layer flow on a rotating helical blade. Numerical solutions of these equations show that the radial flow in the boundary layer is strongly dependent upon the stagger and speed of rotation of the blade.
