Abstract: The diffusion and convection of vorticity produced by a rotlet inside a circular cylinder is discussed at low Reynolds numbers by considering a nonlinear approximation to a complex form of the steady two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations. An expression is found for the boundary vorticity and the modifications to the separation of streamlines are discussed as a function of the Reynolds number.
