Abstract

The influence of inertia terms in the equations of motion on the properties of the base-flow and near-wake flow at very low Reynolds numbers is investigated by using Oseen's approximation and by comparing with the results obtained in Part 1 for Stokes flow. The general solutions of Oseen's equations of motion are derived for two-dimensional and axisymmetric flows in the half-space x > 0, for an arbitrarily given velocity field in the plane x = 0. Numerical examples are given for two-dimensional flow and compared with Stokes-flow examples.
