Problem 42P There are numerous occasions in which a fairly uniform free-stream flow of speed V in the. x -direction encounters a long circular cylinder of radius a aligned normal to the flow (Fig. P9-44).

Problem 95P An incompressible Newtonian liquid is confined between two concentric circular cylinders of infinite length— a solid inner cylinder of radius R i and a hollow, stationary outer cylinder of radius R 0 (Fig. P9-98; the z-axis is out of the page). The inner cylinder rotates at angular velocity ? i. The flow is steady, laminar, and two-dimensional in the r?-plane.
