In this short communication, numerical solutions are obtained for
the steady Bödewadt flow of a viscous fluid subject to partial
slip boundary conditions. The resulting system of nonlinear and
fully coupled similarity equations are integrated accurately by a
finite difference scheme and by the Keller-box method. It is
observed that slip has a prominent effect on the velocity field,
reducing drastically the axial velocity and the pressure.
Moreover, the torque required to maintain the disk at rest
decreases for increasing values of slip.
