The boundary‐layer flow on a rotating vane is investigated with the integral momentum approximation. A parabolic velocity profile is approached over a significant portion of the vane. The assumption of a parabolic velocity profile yields a closed analytical solution for the radial dependence of the surface velocity. Experimental data obtained agree with the predicted average velocity at the exit of the vane.
