In this paper, the viscous flow on the outside of an expanding or contracting cylinder is studied. The governing Navier–Stokes equations are transformed into a similarity equation, which is solved by a shooting method. The solution is an exact solution to the unsteady Navier–Stokes equations. Results show both trivial and non-trivial solutions. For trivial solutions, there is no axial flow induced during the cylinder expansion or contraction. However, for the non-trivial solutions which only exist for cylinder expansion, an axial flow is generated and its strength increases with the increase in expansion speed.
