Some Concluding Remarks About Part II

Abstract

First, concerning the low Reynolds number fluid flows Re ≪ 1, the reader will find in Chap. 9 of our 2002 book FMIA 64 [7], cited in “Introduction”, various asymptotic modelling aspects of unsteady low Reynolds number flows, which are mainly the results of Bentwich and Miloh during the years 1978–1985. In fact, the solution obtained by these authors represents the entire process of transition from stagnation to the steady state envisaged by Proudman and Pearson (1957). However, in the paper by Sano, 1981 <1>, it is shown that the matching procedure proposed by Bentwich and Miloh (1978) is incomplete!
