ON THE AXISYMMETRIC VORTEX FLOW OVER A FLAT SURFACE.
Abstract
The viscous interaction of a potential vortex with a stationary surface is investigated. The breakdown of the self-similar solutions near the critical Reynolds number N sub c approx. = 5.51 is indicated by an instability in the lower boundary layer. A new slow-motion approximation resolves the Stokes and Whitehead paradoxes. (Author)
