Abstract

The steady streaming velocity induced by the circular motion of a cylinder of elliptic cross-section in a viscous fluid is considered. The amplitude of this circular motion is supposed small compared with a typical diameter of the cylinder, which maintains a fixed orientation throughout the motion. Outside the Stokes shear-wave layer Reynolds stresses contribute to the induced steady streaming. The outer flow is calculated in the case of large streaming Reynolds numbers for two particular cylinders.
