THE BASE FLOW PROBLEM AT VERY LOW REYNOLDS NUMBER IN THE OSEEN APPROXIMATION,

Abstract

The influence of inertia terms in the equations of motion on the properties of the base flow and near wake flow at very low Reynolds numbers was investigated by using Oseen's approximation and by comparing with previous results obtained by the same authors for Stokes flow. The general solutions of Oseen's equations of motion were derived for two-dimensional and axisymmetric flows in the half-space x>0, for an arbitrarily given velocity field in the plane x=0. Numerical examples were given for two-dimensional flow and compared with Stokes flow examples. (Author)
