In 1921 von Karman [1] showed that the Navier-Stokes equations for steady viscous axisymmetric flow can be reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations if it is assumed that the axial velocity component is independent of the radial distance from the axis of symmetry. He used these similarity equations to obtain a solution for the flow near an infinite rotating disk. Later Batchelor [2] and Stewartson [3] applied these equations to the problem of steady flow between two infinite disks rotating in parallel planes a finite distance apart.
