| Abstract: | If two nonconcentric cylinders are rotating, a circumferential pressure gradient is created. The effect of this pressure gradient flow on the stability of the local velocity profiles is discussed. It is concluded that in the most critical region the flow due to the pressure gradient has a stabilizing effect. |
