Abstract
An Oseén type linearization of the Navier-Stokes equations is made with respect to a uniform shear flow at the trailing edge of a flat plate. Asymptotic expansions are obtained to describe a symmetrical merging flow for distances from the trailing edge that are, in a certain sense, large. Expansions for three regions are found:(i) a wake region,(ii) an inviscid region, and(iii) an upstream lower order boundary layer.The results are compared with those of Hakkinen and O'Neil (Douglas Aircraft Co. Report, 1967) and Stewartson (Proc. Roy. Soc. Ser. A 306 (1968)). They are further related to the results of Stewartson (Mathematika 16 (1969)) and Messiter (SIAM J. Appl. Math. 18 (1970)).Keywords
