Abstract

Axisymmetric slow viscous flow due to a stokeslet situated along the axis of a circular disk is examined. The problem is formulated as a mixed boundary value problem, and a formal expression for the stream function is obtained. By evaluating the formal expression, it is found that a finite toroidal eddy always exists on the opposite side from the stokeslet and that an additional eddy adjacent to the stokeslet appears for values of the radius of the disk larger than a critical value.
