Extract

It is well known that a first approximation to the flow of a viscous liquid in the neighbourhood of a boundary with a corner may be obtained by solving the linearized equations of momentum neglecting the inertia terms. This has been done by Dean and Montagnon [1] for the plane steady flow near a corner formed by two inclined planes. The following is a similar analysis of the modes by which a liquid can form a free surface starting at the edge of a rigid boundary. The formulation differs from that of Dean and Montagnon mainly in that the angle at which the free surface is formed is in the first place unspecified and has to be determined from the analysis.
