Abstract

The unsteady two-dimensional boundary-layer equations, linearized as by Lighthill are studied. A unified method is developed, from which the results for the stagnation flow, the flow along a flat plate, the flow in a converging canal, etc., can be derived as special cases. Solutions are obtained in two systems, one when the main stream is in unsteady motion and the wall is at rest and the other when the main stream is in steady motion and the wall is in an arbitrary motion. The stagnation flow has been done by Glauert and generalized by Watson. The flow along a flat plate and the flow in a converging canal are considered in detail.
