Extract

In this paper we consider the slow two-dimensional motion of viscous liquid past a sharp edge projecting into and normal to the undisturbed direction of the stream. The liquid is supposed bounded by rigid planes represented by ABCDE in Fig. 1, and, apart from the disturbance caused by the projection, is assumed to be in uniform shearing motion. The stream function is then a bi-harmonic function that must vanish together with its normal derivative at all points of the boundary, and must be proportional to y2 at a great distance from the projection.
