The development of velocity profile inside a filament was studied for spinning flows of LCPs using a hydrogen-bubble method. Both isotropic (33 wt%) and liquid crystalline (50 wt%) aqueous solutions of hydroxypropylcellulose were used as the test fluids. The velocity profile for the 33 wt% solution varies from a convex profile to a uniform one similar to that for Newtonian fluids. For the 50 wt% solution, however, an anomalous profile of the velocity, that is a concave profile, is found beyond a distance of one radius of the nozzle downstream from the exit. Since this concave profile persists far downstream from the nozzle exit, it may affect the molecular orientation distribution inside a fiber.
