Singular solution of boundary-layer equations on a moving surface

We consider a plane steady flow of incompressible fluid in the boundary layer which develops on a surface moving downstream. We obtain a singular solution of Prandtl's equations, continuously extendable through the simultaneous vanishing point of the friction and the longitudinal velocity vector component. Such a solution is realized, in particular, in a flow past a rotating circular cylinder.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, pp. 43–52, March–April, 1987.The author thanks A.
