For fluid undergoing circular motion, the centripetal force is provided by a pressure difference. Consider a fluid element (density p) at radial distance r, which has thickness dr in the radial direction and surface area dA normal to the radial direction. The pressure difference gives rise to a force on the fluid element equal to (p(r + dr) – p(r))dA.
