A theoretical analysis is given of the unsteady flow of a liquid within a cylinder of finite length started suddenly so as to spin about its axis. It is found that a secondary flow, caused by the end walls of the cylindrical container, has a strong effect on the generation of spin in the liquid. In the vicinity of the end walls the fluid motion is characterized by a boundary-layer flow, which can be either laminar or turbulent. The fluid within the boundary layers rotates faster than that at a large distance from the end walls, and therefore is thrown, by centrifugal forces, radially outwards. The radial outflow in the boundary layer creates a slow secondary motion within the spinning liquid. Due to the secondary flow, the transport of angular momentum from the walls to the interior is accomplished by convection rather than diffusion. A treatment is given for both laminar and turbulent end-wall boundary layers. The theoretical results are compared with experimental observations and good agreement is found.
