Extract

1. A slow two-dimensional steady motion of liquid caused by a pressure gradient in a semi-infinite channel is considered. The medium is bounded by two parallel semi-infinite planes represented in Fig. 1 by the straight lines AB, DE. The stream-function ψ is a biharmonic function of x, y which exactly satisfies the condition that AB, DE must be stream-lines, but the condition that there must be no velocity of slip on these boundaries is satisfied only approximately, and the calculated velocity of slip gives a measure of the accuracy of the solution.
