Based on the governing equations of the inner cyinder of the unsteady flow of the power law fluid in eccentric annuli with the inner cylinder reciprocating axially in bipolar coordinate system, the calculation formulae of tangential force were established, and the relevant numerical calculation method was given. Taking the aqueous solution of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamides (HPAM) for examples, the tangential forces were calculated by using the formulae and numerical calculation method mentioned above; the curves of the tangential force on the wall of the inner cylinder of HPAM aqueous solution were plotted; and the effects on the tangential force of the flow behavior index of the power law fluid, the stroke and the stroke frequency of the inner cylinder were analyzed.
