Extract

The flow of a viscous incompressible fluid past a paraboloid of revolution is described by matching a series of boundary-layer approximations valid far downstream to a series of potential flow solutions valid far from the solid surface. The development parallels that of Goldstein (3) and Murray (10) for the flat plate, becoming identical for infinitely large Reynolds number; it is found that logarithmic terms must be introduced at the third stage of the matching, and that these produce constants in the downstream solution which remain indeterminate. These terms result from interaction between inner and outer solutions, rather than from appearance of a complementary function of the inner equation.
