Elastico-viscous boundary-layer flows I. Two-dimensional flow near a stagnation point

D. W. Beard, K. Walters

Abstract

Abstract The Prandtl boundary-layer theory is extended for an idealized elastico-viscous liquid. The boundary-layer equations are solved numerically for the case of two-dimensional flow near a stagnation point. It is shown that the main effect of elasticity is to increase the velocity in the boundary layer and also to increase the stress on the solid boundary.
