Abstract

The assumption that disturbances are confined to the neighbourhood of the wall in the problem of Part I is invalidated by an exact solution of the resulting equation which shows that disturbances rapidly travel out of the region in which the equation is applicable. The asymptotic methods of Part I are also applied to this equation, which was studied by Lam and Rott (1), and an assessment is made of the role of the eigensolutions found by these authors.
