Abstract

Conjugate solutions of the equation of swirling cylindrical flow are considered in the case where the ‘primary’ flow has constant axial velocity. Numerical solutions are exhibited, which suggest a division of primary flows into four classes, and some conditions governing membership of these classes are derived. Finally, the case when the governing equation is slightly non-linear is considered.
