Stokes Solutions for Flow Near Corners in Three-Dimensions

抄録

Nature of three dimensional viscous flow near corner formed by the intersection of two quarter-infinite flat plates at various angles has been examined by constructing Stokes slow flow solutions. Specifically viscous flows for intersection angles of π, (3/2)π and 2π have been investigated, which correspond to flows past a semi-infinite flat plate, an external flow past a right angle corner and a quarter-infinite flat plate respectively.
On the basis of the Stokes solutions obtained, various types of singularities arising in the flow field are identified over the complete range of intersection angle 0–2π.
