Abstract
The boundary layer for a swirling flow of incompressible fluid in a convergent cone has been investigated. Theoretical calculation with boundary conditions more appropriate to physically existent situations discount the existence of "super velocities" within the boundary layer. Parallel experimental investigations demonstrate an interdependence of core and boundary layer flows which precludes the maintenance of initial "ideal flow" conditions.
