Theoretical analysis reveals integral identities for skin friction in annular flows, highlighting mathematical links to classical pipe and channel dynamics.
Integral identities relating the skin-friction coefficients and the Reynolds shear stresses in annular cylindrical flows are derived. In the pressure-driven case, an identity for the radial location of the maximum streamwise velocity is obtained and, in the cylinder-driven case, an identity for the bulk velocity is found. The formulas are used to analyse existing numerical and experimental data and simplify to classical channel-flow and pipe-flow identities in the limiting cases of vanishingly small and infinitely large radius ratios.
