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.
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.
