Influence of rotation on the damping of surface waves in a cylindrical layer of viscous fluid
A study is made of the oscillations of the free surface of a cylindrical layer of viscous incompressible fluid attracted by gravity to a solid, uniformly rotating cylinder. Logarithmic decay rates are found for the damping of the surface gravitational waves when large Reynolds numbers are assumed. It is shown that rotation introduces an asymmetry into the damping of the waves traveling in and against the direction of rotation of the fluid.
