In a previous paper the present writer gave a solution of the problem of determining the circulation around a thin elliptic cylinder in a steady stream of slightly viscous fluid when the major axis of the cylinder is inclined at a small angle to the direction of the flow at infinity. The present note gives a largely qualitative analysis of the manner in which this circulation is built up when the motion of the fluid or cylinder is started instantaneously from rest with a given velocity.


The NAVIER-POISSON equations for the flow of an incompressible viscous fluid are not, as yet, am enable to complete mathematical solution. A number of approximate solutions to them have been obtained in certain special cases, the greater number of these relating to the slow steady motion of a very viscous fluid, i.e., to conditions when the Reynolds’ number is very small. The solution due to STOKES for the flow past a sphere is based on the assumption that the inertia terms in the viscous equations are negligible. A solution for the flow past a cylinder in the presence of walls has been obtained by BAIRSTOW, CAVE and LANG, making the same supposition, also by BERRY and SWAIN for an elliptic cylinder and by FRAZER for a number of conditions, whilst BASSETTS obtained a solution for the flow in the neighbourhood of a sphere moving impulsively from rest.


Solutions of Oseen's equations have previously been obtained for the circular cylinder (Lamb 1916; Bairstow, Cave and Lang 1923; Southwell and Squire 1933), circular and elliptic cylinders (Berry and Swain 1923; Harrison 1924; Faxén 1927) and flat plate (Berry and Swain 1923; Piercy and Winny 1933). After eliminating the pressure from the equations of steady motion of a viscous fluid in two dimensions the equations become v ∇ 2 ζ = u ∂ζ/∂ x + v ∂ζ/∂ y . (1·1) Oseen's modification is v ∇ 2 ζ = v ∂ζ/∂ x , (1·2) where V is the undisturbed velocity of the fluid and the axis of x is in the direction of the undisturbed motion.
