Fluid flow and inertial forces in black hole space times

We discuss the nature of the radial and azimuthal components of centrifugal force associated with fluid flows in the equatorial plane of black hole space times. The equations of motion are solved for the radial and azimuthal components of the 3-velocity V^i which are then used in evaluating the nature of the various components of inertial accelerations. It is shown that the reversal of centrifugal force is governed mainly by the dominance of the azimuthal velocity and the reversal occurs for r, mostly at 2m <~ r <~ 3m, depending upon the boundary condition.
