Summary

An exact analytic solution is presented for axisymmetric compressible swirling flow in an annular passage. The solution is given in terms of simple expressions for the streamline shapes. The results can be used to describe an irrotational flow as well as a class of rotational flows in annular passages, such as might be encountered in turbomachinery components. The solution could be applied as a test case for numerical computations of flows in turbomachines.
