Abstract
The incompressible laminar boundary layer on a semi-infinite flat plate is considered, when the main stream has uniform shear. A solution is obtained for the first two terms of an asymptotic solution for small viscosity. It is shown that one of the principal effects of free-stream vorticity is to introduce a modified pressure field outside the boundary-layer region.Keywords
