Abstract

Similarity solutions in which the vorticity decays algebraically towards the outer limit of the viscous layer are shown to be possible limit solutions of the full boundary-layer equations with exponential decay. The discussion is illustrated by consideration of a mainstream applicable to viscous flow in a cone.
