MOTION OF A VISCOUS INCOMPRESSIBLE FLUID
IN A PIPE IN A ROTATING COORDINATE SYSTEM

An analytical solution of the problem on steady motion 
of a viscous incompressible fluid in a circular pipe has been obtained 
with regard for the action of Coriolis forces. It is shown that the 
rotation of the coordinate system as a result of the destruction of 
the laminar regime of flow and the appearance of a partially nonuniform 
three-dimensional vortex flow on its basis lead to an increase in 
the hydrodynamic drag of the pipe.
