Hi,

I have some trouble understanding the slip of an impeller. I have read many different pieces of literature and one says that the slip is causes by a counter rotating vortex due to the pressure difference from High to low pressure on the suction sides of the blade

Another source says that the slip is caused due to the Coriolis effect.

Then a third source says that the counter rotating vortex is caused by the Coriolis effect.

I am kind of stuck on this. The Coriolis effect is a deflection of the relative motion, how can this induce a vortex?
