A solution in the form of asymptotic series is obtained for the problem about the near wake behind a thin cylinder in an laminar incompressible flow. To find the solution, we use the method of expansion into series of the solutions for the inner and outer portions of the flow. The influence of the circulation flow is not taken into account. The so-obtained solution is applicable only within a limited distance from the afterbody. Some essential differences are observed between the axisymmetric flow and the corresponding problem about the two-dimensional wake after a flat plate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
