Question: A vertical cylindrical container ( diameter D ) containing oil ( Kinematic viscosity = 2 . 3 9 1 0 4 m 2 / s

A vertical cylindrical container (diameter D) containing oil (Kinematic viscosity =2.39
104 m2/s and density =780 kg/m3
) is rotating about its own axis at a constant angular
velocity (anti-clockwise) while also simultaneously translating along the horizontal direc-
tion with a fixed acceleration a. Neglect the surface tension effects. Also, consider no spilling
of the oil out of the container is happening as the initial height of the oil Ho is much less than
the height of the cylindrical container H. Take atmospheric pressure to be pa =101KP a
and acceleration due to gravity g =9.81 m/sec.2
.(See Fig. 1(a)).
i. What would be the equation for iso-pressure surfaces, if the fluid exhibits rigid-body
type motion without causing any resultant flow.
ii. Will the free-surface be symmetric about the axis?
