Rotordynamic forces acting on a conical shroud are calculated based on the simplest bulk-flow model. Semi-analytical solutions are presented under a few simplifying assumptions as follows, (1) wall shear stress is neglect, (2) no leakage flow, and (3) steady tangential velocity is forced vortex distribution. It has worth to elucidate the fundamental mechanism of rotordynamic forces acting on a conical shroud.
