Notes:
A method of solution for the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible flow past a cylinder is given in which the euquation of continuity is solved by a step-by-step integration procedure at each stage of an interative process. Thus the formulation involves the solution of one first-order and one second-order equation for the velocity components, together with the vorticity transport equation. the equations are solved numerically by h4-accurate methods in the case of steady flow past a circular cylinder in the Reynolds number range 10-100. Results are in satisfactory agreement with recent h4-accurate calculations. An improved approximation to the boundary conditions at large distance is also considered.
