Extract

In this paper we consider the slow two-dimensional motion of viscous liquid past a sharp edge projecting into the stream, the motion being one of uniform shear apart from the disturbance caused by the projection. A special form is assumed for the boundary so that a method lately developed by N. Muschelišvili can be used in solving the biharmonic equation; a simple expression in finite terms is found for the stream function ψ1. Fig. 1 shows the section ABC of the fixed boundary of the liquid, the equation of the curve ABC is given in § 2, and ψ1 in § 3.
