Popis: Generalizing Navier’s partial slip condition, the flow due to a rough or striated plate moving in a rotating fluid is studied. It is found that the motion of the plate, the fluid surface velocity, and the shear stress are in general not in the same direction. The solution is extended to the case of finite depth, or Couette slip flow in a rotating system. In this case an optimum depth for minimum drag is found. The solutions are also closed form exact solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations. The results are fundamental to flows with Coriolis effects.
