This theoretical investigation examines flow dynamics in two-liquid systems, revealing significant torque relationships in fluid mechanics.

The aim is to explore the flow fields of two immiscible liquids between concentric spherical surfaces under oscillatory conditions.
Conducted systematic parametric analyses on analytical solutions of two-liquid and single-liquid flows.
Examined the effects of oscillatory boundary layer developments on flow behavior.
Derived scaling relationships to explain local extrema in torque magnitudes.
Torque magnitudes reach local extrema when inner liquid viscous penetration depth aligns with layer thickness.
The influence of slip lengths and viscosity ratios on torque responses can be less significant than expected.
Relationships between torque, Womersley number, and hydrodynamic properties were established.

Hsu et al. (2026) studied this question.
