On the applicability of Howard's formula
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2006
Abstract
The applicability of Howard's formula is considered in cases where there exist critical layers at the boundaries in addition to one inside the flow field. It is shown that in a few particular cases Howard's formula can be applied provided that the finite part of an otherwise diverging integral is taken. In general, however, this revised formula is not valid and an expression analogous to the one given by Banks, Drazin & Zaturska for a particular example is found.
