The fluid to be tested flows through the annular gap of the cup and the bob system, sheared by the rotation of the inner cylinder, while the outer cylinder is held stationary. This is a case of helical flow in an annular region. An attempt has been made to direct the analysis toward an examination of the relationship between moment (M) and angular velocity (?) at the inner cylinder. Since M and ? are proportional to the shear stress and shear rate respectively, we may thus investigate the relationship between shear stress and shear rate and the dependence of this on axial flow rate. We have shown using numerical solutions that axial flow has no effect on shear rate. A definition for an approximate viscosity has been presented and a comparison has been made between predicted approximate and true viscosity}, keywords = {}, url = {https://jsciences.ut.ac.ir/article_31449.html}, eprint = {https://jsciences.ut.ac.ir/article_31449_2d9db6be34fed2102017a6b4de3b4c2c.pdf} }
