fluids through a concentric annulus where both the inner and the outer
tubes are stationary and thus the flow is purely axial. If one of or
both the tubes are rotated, however, a tangential component of the fluid
velocity, or say, rotating flow, will be imposed upon the annular flow,
fluid particle will follow a spiral or a helical path about the axis of
the tubes with an angular velocity w and an axial velocity vz. This is
