Abstract
The induced transient viscous flow due to a suddenly stretched surface is studied. After a similarity transform, the unsteady Navier-Stokes equation is solved by several methods, including perturbation for smal l times, numerical integration, and asymptotic analysis for large time s. It is found that the validity of the small-time series can be great ly extended and the approach to steady state is exponential.
