Journal ArticleDOI
Higher approximations in boundary-layer theory Part 1. General analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the boundary-layer theory is embedded as the first step in a systematic scheme of successive approximations for finding an asymptotic solution for viscous flow at large Reynolds number.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extended Stokes series: laminar flow through a loosely coiled pipe
TL;DR: In this paper, the series for steady fully developed laminar flow through a toroidal pipe of small curvature ratio has been extended by computer to 24 terms and it was shown that convergence is limited by a square root singularity on the negative axis of the square of the Dean number.
Journal ArticleDOI
Entry flow in a channel
TL;DR: In this article, a uniformly valid asymptotic solution for large Reynolds number is constructed for plane steady laminar flow of a liquid into the channel between two semi-infinite parallel plates, where the entry condition is taken as either that for a cascade of plates in a uniform oncoming stream, or uniform flow directly at the inlet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Higher approximations in boundary-layer theory Part 3. Parabola in uniform stream
TL;DR: In this article, the classical laminar boundary layer on a parabolic cylinder is calculated using the Blasius series, with modifications to improve convergence, and supplemented by an asymptotic expansion valid far downstream from the nose.
