Abstract
A particular solution to the biharmonic equation is described which re presents a slow viscous flow near a sharp edge. It shows separation st reamlines which are tangential to the plate at the edge, when the domi nant behaviour there is a combination of the flow around the edge (whi ch provides zero vorticity on the plate) plus a simple linear shear.
