Rotational Stokes flow between concentric spheres

For concentric spheres of radii

a < b

, with the inner sphere rotating at angular velocity

Ω

and the outer sphere fixed, the Stokes velocity is

u (x) = \frac{a ^{3}}{b ^{3} - a ^{3}} (\frac{b ^{3}}{r ^{3}} - 1) Ω \times x .

The pressure is constant, and may be set to zero.
