As shown in Fig. 1, when a cylinder, which is rotating around its own axis O' with an angular velocity Ω, revolves around a fixed axis O with a constant angular velocity ω, the stream function Ψ'is Ψ'(γ', α) where α=θ-ωt'-π/2. In this case the equation of motion of fluid is expressed by Eq. (3) and in non-dimensional form, by Eq. (4). Now we assume Ψ as Eq. (8) and determine 16 unknown coefficients as satisfy Eq. (4) and the boundary conditions (5) and (6). That is, from Eqs. (13)∼(16), we determine A
