The shape of the liquid surface for a fluid present in a uniformly rotating cylinder is generally determined by making a Tangential velocity gradient along the radius of the rotating cylindrical container. A very similar principle can be applied if the direction of the produced velocity gradient is reversed, for which the source of rotation will be present at the central axis of the cylindrical vessel in which the liquid is present. Now if the described system is completely closed, the angular velocity will decrease as a function of time. But when the surface of the rotating fluid is kept free, then the Tangential velocity profile would be similar to that of the Taylor-Couette Flow, with a modification that; due to formation of a curvature at the surface, the Navier-Stokes law is to be modified. Now the final equation may not seem to have a proper general solution, but can be approximated to certain solvable expressions for specific cases of angular velocity.
