Extract

The flow along the corners formed by the intersection of two semi-infinite flat plates has been studied by many workers, notably Pearson (1957) and Rubin (1966) who treated the case of a rectangular corner. The situation is characterised by a region of three-dimensional flow in the vicinity of the intersection line bounded by regions in which the usual two-dimensional boundary layer equations are applicable. Within these boundary regions a secondary shear layer exists whose velocity is normal to the ‘two-dimensional’ vector.
