An exposition on some viscosity dependent issues in refined potential flow theory

Year: 2026

Type: preprint

Abstract: This study evaluates viscosity-dependent limitations in refined potential flow theory (RPT) applied to incompressible flow over an impulsively started circular cylinder. RPT adapts classical potential flow theory to account for viscous effects, flow fluctuations, and three-dimensional variables. By utilizing a quasi-irrotational viscous stream function, the framework solves the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations while satisfying both free-stream and no-slip boundary conditions.
