Book excerpt: The velocity fields of three-dimensional viscous wakes with small swirl and streamwise pressure gradients are examined with the use of the boundary layer approximations, Ossen's linearization of the convective terms, and the assumption of constant fluid properties. Transform methods yield mathematically exact solutions with general types of initial conditions. The theory, while applicable to many practical problems (such as describing the phenomena in a tip vortex), is not applied here an its application is left for future investigation.
