Abstract
It has been shown [1, 2] that a wide class of 3D motions of in-
compressible viscous fluid in Cartesian coordinates can be de-
scribed by only one scalar function dubbed the quasi-potential.
This class of fluid flows is characterized by three-component
velocity field having two-component vorticity field; both these
fields can depend of all three spatial variables and time, in gen-
eral. Governing equations for the quasi-potential have been de-
rived and simple illustrative examples of 3D flows have been
presented. In this paper the concept of quasi-potential is fur-
ther developed for fluid flows in cylindrical coordinates. It is
shown that the introduction of a quasi-potential in curvilinear
coordinates is non-trivial and may be a subject of additional
restrictions. In the cases when it is possible, we construct il-
lustrative examples which can be of interest for some practical
applications.
