A NOTE ON THE DISTORTION OF A FLAT-PLATE BOUNDARY-LAYER BY FREE-STREAM VORTICITY NORMAL TO THE PLATE

The purpose of this note is to construct a local solution that eliminates a residual velocity discontinuity in the inviscid portion of a solution obtained in a recent paper by Goldstein, Leib & Cowley (1992). This result is of importance because it shows that the solution obtained in that paper is entirely non-singular outside the viscous wall boundary layer and that any singularity in the problem will have to arise in the usual way through a breakdown in the viscous boundary layer.
