Swirling of a liquid in a container may prove to be a more desirable method of managing liquids in low gravity (space) environments than by rotating the entire container. By injecting a relatively high velocity liquid tangentially into the body of the fluid, swirl can best be started rapidly, however an estimate of the quantity and velocity of jetflow, or mechanical power of a pump impeller required to maintain a given radial acceleration (G force) is needed to assess the feasibility of such a method. While the key aspect of the problem is determining the rate of rotational energy dissipation by wall friction in the container, there are other considerations, and the present study investigates the possible additional effects of axial variation of tangential velocity and secondary (radial and axial) flow components within the rotating fluid.
