Abstract

Numerical solutions have been obtained for steady viscous flow past a finite flat plate attached normally to an infinite wall at Reynolds numbers Re up to 2800. Separately, Levi-Civita's method has been used to obtain the flow solution based on the free-streamline theory. Apart from the case of uniform flow past an isolated obstacle, the present flow problem appeared to exhibit the validity of the free-streamline model for the global structure of the flow field. The position of the separation point could be predicted by two terms of the asymptotic solution based on the Sychev–Smith model within 0.6% error for the range 100 [les ] Re [les ] 2800.
