Part IB, 2008
An ideal liquid contained within a closed circular cylinder of radius rotates about the axis of the cylinder (assume this axis to be in the vertical -direction).
(i) Prove that the equation of continuity and the boundary conditions are satisfied by the velocity , where is the angular velocity, with the unit vector in the -direction, which depends only on time, and is the position vector measured from a point on the axis of rotation.
(ii) Calculate the angular momentum per unit length of the cylinder.
(iii) Suppose the the liquid starts from rest and flows under the action of an external force per unit mass . By taking the curl of the Euler equation, prove that
(iv) Find the pressure.
