Abstract

Three-dimensional steady flow past a body placed in a uniform stream of viscous, thermally conducting fluid is considered within the framework of the Oseen approximation. Asymptotic forms for the fundamental matrix are obtained for both supersonic and subsonic flow. It is shown how the solution to the flow past a body may be obtained from the fundamental matrix, and that the fundamental matrix itself provides the far field flow.
