This solution consists of the steady-state term, and the transient term which
tends to zero as t →∞. Consequently, the steady-state is attained in the
limit t →∞.
Example 12.16.4. (Unsteady Viscous Flow in a Rotating Cylinder ). The ax-
isymmetric unsteady motion of a viscous fluid in an infinitely long circular
cylinder of radius a is governed by

, 0 ≤ r ≤ a, t > 0,
where v = v (r, t) is the tangential fluid velocity and ν is the kinematic
viscosity of the fl uid .
The cylinder is at rest until at t = 0+ it is caused to rotate, so that the
boundary and initial conditions are
v (r, t)=aΩf (t) H (t)onr = a,
v (r, t)=0, at t =0 for r<a,
where f (t) is a physically realistic function of t.
We solve the problem by using the joint Laplace an d finite Hankel trans-
forms of order one defined by
