 The Oseen-type expansion of Navier-Stokes flows with an application to swimming velocity Bull. Korean Math. Soc. 2001 Vol. 38, No. 2, 337-346 Sun-Chul Kim Chung-Ang University Abstract : A linearization owing to Oseen originally is performed to study the recirculating Navier-Stokes flows at high Reynolds numbers. The procedure is generalized to produce higher order asymptotic expansion for the flow velocity. We call this the {\em Oseen-type expansion }of the given flow. As a concrete example, the velocity of a steady Navier-Stokes flow due to a swimming flexible sheet in two-dimensional infinite strip domain is calculated by an asymptotic expansion technic with two-parameters, the Reynolds number $R$ and the perturbation parameter $\eps$. We here expand the flow in $\eps$ first and then $R$ secondly. The asymptotic result is up to second order in $\eps$. Keywords : Reynolds number, linearization, boundary layer, recirculating flow MSC numbers : 76D05, 76D10, 41A60 Downloads: Full-text PDF
