Abstract

Local solutions are found for the inviscid shear flow past an acute corner (of included angle [les ] ½π on the side of the fluid) on an otherwise arbitrary boundary. Unlike irrotational ‘corner flows’, these solutions are determinate locally, provided that the vorticity is known. Under certain circumstances the existence of a corner eddy may be inferred.
