The thermal wake of a streamlined body

The stationary problem of the thermal wake behind a body around which there is a flow of a viscous incompressible fluid is considered within the framework of the full heat-conduction equation. It is assumed that the solution of the corresponding hydrodynamic problem is known. In the case of the hydrodynamic problem, theorems of existence 1,2] and uniqueness 1] have been proved and the leading term of the expansion 1, 3] at an infinitely remote point has been obtained together with estimates of the remaining terms 1, 4]. Work mainly carried out within the framework of the boundary layer approximation 5] is concerned with the solution of the thermal problem.
