Transient Stokes Flow in a Wedge

Abstract
The transient flow in the sector region bounded by two intersecting planes and a circular cylinder is determined in the Stokes approximation. The plane boundaries are assumed to be at rest while the cylinder is rotating with a constant velocity starting at t = 0. The problem is solved by means of three different methods, a finite element, a finite difference, and a boundary element method. The corresponding problem in which the constant velocity boundary condition on the cylinder is replaced by a condition of constant stress is also solved by means of the finite element method.
