Abstract

The flow induced by a cylinder performing transverse periodic oscillations in a fluid which is otherwise at rest is investigated. The motion of the cylinder is not necessarily harmonic. Attention is focused upon the induced steady streaming. In particular, the jet-like flow which arises when the streaming Reynolds number is large is studied. The theoretical results obtained are applied to a class of elliptic cylinders, and a simple experimental investigation is carried out which substantiates the main theoretical conclusions.
