State of the art of studies on the dynamics of rotating fluids, part 2

A bibliographical review of studies conducted in the field of rotating fluid dynamics is presented, with special emphasis on applications to tip-dampers and on evaluation of the dissipation due to fluid movement against the tank walls. The following topics are covered: an analytical study of the problem equations; experimental studies for evaluating the fluid dissipation; numerical resolution of Navier-Stokes equations and subsequent applications to rotating fluids; and problems related to surface tensions at interfaces when the fluid is under low gravity. The conclusions point out various possible approaches which might be used to tackle the different problems.
