Generalized fundamental solutions for unsteady viscous flows

Abstract

A number of new closed-form fundamental solutions for the generalized unsteady Oseen and Stokes flows associated with arbitrary time-dependent translational and rotational motions have been developed. These solutions are decomposed into two parts corresponding to a longitudinal wave and a transversal wave. As examples of application, the hydrodynamic force acting on a sphere or on a circular cylinder translating in an unsteady flow field at low Reynolds numbers are calculated using the new generalized fundamental solutions. The results for a rotating viscous flow past an impulsively moving sphere and an impulsively moving circular cylinder are entirely new.
