Abstract

We consider, in this paper, boundary-layer flows which are induced when an isothermal rigid-body rotation is disturbed by heating the fluid. The basic rigid-body rotation is sustained by one or more rotating planes at which the temperature differences are initiated. Conditions of both uniform and unsteady heating are discussed.
