Abstract
Two-dimensional selective withdrawals in an incompressible continuously stratified fluid are studied. Longer evolutions than the solutions obtained by Pao and Kao for the flows of very small internal Froude numbers are given, which indicates that several eddy regions of cell structures are developed in the stagnant layer. The effect of the end wall for the case in which the source is located at the point detached the wall is investigated by superposing flow fields due to two sinks. The validity of the theoretical solutions is confirmed by a numerical analysis, and the limitation of the linear analysis is also clarified.
