Abstract
The manner in which fluid driven through a channel of width a responds in anticipation of a severe asymmetric distortion (e.g. to the wall or interior conditions downstream) is discussed when the oncoming flow is fully developed, the characteristic Reynolds number K is large and the whole motion remains laminar. Far ahead of the disturbance, at distances ahead of the particular finite distortion. Comparisons of this and other predictions with computed solutions of the full Navier–Stokes equations show reasonable agreement.
