LAMINAR FAR WAKE FLOW OF A NON-NEWTONIAN POWER-LAW FLUID

Asymptotic solutions are presented for the laminar flow far behind a two-dimensional object for incompressible non-Newtonian power-law fluids. The solutions are given up to the third order approximation with a note on higher order approximations. When the flow behavior index tends to unity, the present solutions reduce to those already published for the Newtonian laminar far wake flow.
