The complete uniform asymptotic expansion of the velocity and pressure fields for Stokes flow past a slender body of revolution is obtained with respect to the slenderness ratio ε of the body. A completely general incident Stokes flow is assumed and hence these results extend the special cases treated by Tillett (1970) and Cox (1970). The part of the flow due to the presence of the body is represented as a superposition of the flows produced by three types of singularity distributed with unknown densities along a portion of the axis of the body and lying entirely inside the body. The no-slip boundary condition on the body then leads to a system of three coupled, linear, integral equations for the densities of the singularities. The complete expansion for these densities is then found as a series in powers of ε and ε log ε. It is found that the extent of these distributions of singularities inside the body is the same for all the singular flows and depends only upon the geometry of the body. The total force, drag and torque experienced by the body are computed.

SummaryThe approximate supersonic flow past a slender ducted body of revolution having an annular intake is determined by using the Heaviside operational calculus applied to the linearised equation for the velocity potential. It is assumed that the external and internal flows are independent. The pressures on the body are integrated to find the drag, lift and moment coefficients of the external forces. The lift and moment coefficients have the same values as for a slender body of revolution without an intake, but the formula for the drag has extra terms given in equations (32) and (56). Under extra assumptions, the lift force due to the internal pressures is estimated. The results are applicable to propulsive ducts working under the specified condition of no “ spill-over “ at the intake.

A slender body of revolution berthing to a wall is studied by extending the classical slender body theory. This topic is of practical importance for a ship berthing to a quay wall. The flow problem is solved analytically using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. The lateral force and yaw moment on the body are obtained in a closed form too. The translation and yawing of the body are modeled using the second Newton law and coupled with the flow induced. Numerical analyses are performed for the dynamic lateral translation and yawing of a slender spheroid, while its horizontal translation parallel to the wall is prescribed at zero speed, constant speed, and time varying speed, respectively. The analysis reveals the interesting dynamic features of the translation and yawing of the body in terms of the forward speed and starting angle of yaw of the body.

This paper describes an experimental investigation of the initial growth of flow asymmetries over a slender body of revolution at high angles of attack with natural and disturbed noses. Time-resolved particle image velocimetry (PIV) is used to investigate the flow field around the body. Flow visualization clearly shows the formation of the asymmetric vortices. Instantaneous PIV shows that the amplified asymmetric disturbances lead to Kelvin–Helmholtz instability appearing first on one side, which increases the momentum exchange crossing the layer. As a result, the separation region shrinks which creates the initial vortex asymmetry.
