A general simple continua can be enhanced by constitutive equations which depend on the acceleration and velocity gradients to model the effects of a material characteristic length. This paper shows that for irrotational flows of a class of incompressible materials this model yields a Bernoulli equation. Consequently, for this class of materials and flows, it is possible to satisfy the balance of linear momentum exactly, including the effect of a material characteristic length which introduces size dependence of solutions. An example of a rigid circular cylinder moving through an inviscid fluid is considered to demonstrate dependence of the motion on the size of the cylinder.

The problem of the diffusion and convection of heat from an arbitrarily placed heat source in the potential convection field due to uniform streaming past an infinite circular cylinder is considered. Solutions are obtained for the regions inside and outside the cylinder and are given in terms of Mathieu Functions. An appendix giving the required properties of these functions is included.
