Source abstract

Abstract The chief interest in the results obtained in the following pages lies in the fact that a mathematical result has been obtained concerning the motion of solids in fluids which is verified accurately when recourse is had to experiment, with real solids moving in real fluids. This is so exceptional a circumstance that it is hoped that the interest which it gives to the mathematical work will serve to extenuate, to a certain extent, the clumsiness of the methods employed. The problem solved is two-dimensional. An infinite cylindrical body of any cross-section moves in a uniformly rotating fluid with its generators parallel to the axis of rotation. The stream lines and the reaction between the solid and the fluid are found.
