Flow of viscoelastic fluid contained between a stationary outer sphere and a rotating inner sphere is studied experimentally. In the present investigation, relatively low-concentration polyacrylamide-water solutions are used as viscoelastic fluid, and for the sake of comparison glycerin-water solutions are used as the Newtonian fluid. In experiments, measurements of the rotational torque and the...
