Abstract

A systematic procedure is presented for the determination of uniformly valid successive approximations to the axisymmetric incompressible potential flow about elongated bodies of revolution meeting certain shape requirements. The presence of external disturbances moving with respect to the body under study is admitted. The accuracy of the procedure and its extension beyond the scope of the present study—e.g. to problems in plane flow - are discussed.
