A NOTE ON THE OSEEN APPROXIMATION FOR A PARABOLOID IN A UNIFORM STREAM PARALLEL TO ITS AXIS

J. WILKINSON

( University College Swansea )

It is shown in this note that the Oseen equations have a simple solution when the body is in the form of a paraboloid of elliptic section in a stream of viscous, incompressible fluid which at infinity has uniform velocity in the direction of the axis. Particular attention is given to the case in which the paraboloid degenerates into a flat plate with a parabolic leading edge, and it is suggested that the solution of the Oseen equations in this case may throw some light on the corresponding three-dimensional boundary-layer problem.
