Mechanism of the Vortex, Motion behind an Elliptic Cylinder

Abstract

We have shown that the vovtex motion behind an elliptie eylinder can be We have shown that the vortex motion behind an elliptie cylinder can be deduced from that behind a cirenlar eylinder eylinder which is already known, by the method of transformation. The equilibrium positions of a vortex-pair and the resistance experienced by the eylinder have also been discussed
