I'm not sure. I forgot to say in my last post that 1 unit = 1 meter. 
Would the fact that "gravity" is zero at the center make a difference?

For that matter, how would a gas behave in a cylinder that is spinning? 
I would think that it would tend to remain completely at rest except 
where it comes into contact with the surface objects. Maybe over time 
sustained contact would cause it to build momentum and turn as a 
whole... I dunno.
