Abstract
In Part I of the work that follows solutions for the flow around a semi-infinite oscifiating plate are obtained, one by an operational method using parabolic coordinates and one in the form of a series solution. The latter is used to obtain an estimate of the skin friction distribution about the edge of the plate and hence the excess skin friction over the infinite oscilliating plate value. A valuable check on this result is provided by an equivalent consideration of the operational solution. Having demonstrated the usefulness of the series solution we proceed to extend its application to a wedge of arbitrary angle in Part II and eventually use the results to derive a general expression for the skin friction on an infinite cylinder of arbitrary cross-section oscifiating rapidly parallel to its length.
