Abstract

A problem with possible physiological applications concerns the escape of a viscous fluid through a small hole in a wall. The solution presented here is for a line source of sinusoidally pulsating strength located at the origin x = y = 0, where the plane y = 0 is a rigid wall and the fluid is at rest at y = + ∞. The linearized Navier—Stokes equations are solved, and results in the form of streamline plots are shown and discussed.
