Summary
The unsteady hydrodynamic viscous flow in an annular channel in the
presence of a time varying pressure gradient in the direction of the axis has
been considered by the application of the Laplace transform. The case of a
constant axial pressure gradient has been taken into account as a special case.

at a distance c from the imaginary axis and parallel to it. The line
is of length 2R and is bisected by the real axis. With this point of
bisection as centre and R as radius describe a semicircle towards
the negative part of the real axis. The contour thus consists of a
semi-circular arc bounded by its diameter as described above.

grand lie to its left and R tends to infinity through a sequence
of such values t h a t the semicircle never passes through a pole of

90 U N S T E A D Y VISCOUS ANNULAR FLOW
As t --> oo, this solution tends to the solution of the steady case
for an annular region.
The case when the pressure gradient is periodic can be discussed
b y taking a suitable form of/(t). The extension to the flow of non-
Newtonian fluids in the annular channel can be carried out in the
same manner as in 1).
