A viscous liquid is sheared between two parallel disks of radius �, one of which rotates with angular speed Ω, while the other is fixed. The velocity field is purely tangential, and the velocity varies linearly with z from: �; = 0 at � = 0 (the fixed disk) to the velocity of the rotating disk at its surface (� = ℎ). Derive an expression for the velocity field between the disks.
