	%X In this study, the numerical solution of unsteady flow
between two concentric rotating spheres with suction and blowing at
their boundaries is presented. The spheres are rotating about a
common axis of rotation while their angular velocities are constant.
The Navier-Stokes equations are solved by employing the finite
difference method and implicit scheme. The resulting flow patterns
are presented for various values of the flow parameters including
rotational Reynolds number Re , and a blowing/suction Reynolds
number Rew . Viscous torques at the inner and the outer spheres are
calculated, too. It is seen that increasing the amount of suction and
blowing decrease the size of eddies generated in the annulus.
