Abstract

Viscous incompressible flow around a circular disk set normal to undisturbed flow is theoretically studied at small values of the Reynolds number. The critical Reynolds number at which a standing vortex first appears behind the disk is zero, and the flow separates from the edge of the disk. Several other features of the flow are obtained from the present analysis.
