The equation of the outer boundary for a solid elliptical cylinder having as axes 2a and 2b is... 

Equations (P17.6.11) and (PI7.6.12) indicate that the shear stress at any point within the cross section of an elliptical cylinder under torsion is tangent to an ellipse passing through this point with the same axis ratio, a/b, as that of the boundary ellipse. In other words, the lines of shear stress are concentric ellipses. Consequently, the inner boundary also coincides with a line of shear stress. Therefore the shear stress acting normally on the internal surface parallel to the z axis in null. Moreover, if a concentric cylinder is removed from the rod, the stress distribution in the remaining portion will be the same as in the solid cylinder. For this reason, the stress function will be given by... 

Elliptic cylinder. By way of example, let us consider heat exchange for an elliptic cylinder with semiaxes a and b whose surface is described by the equation (X/a)2 + (Y/b)2 = 1, a > b. We assume that the velocity at infinity forms an angle u> with the major semiaxis (Figure 4.4). 

Discussion of Correlation for Specific Shapes. The equation for elliptical cylinders fits the approximate analysis of Raithby and Hollands [224] but has not been verified by experiment except in the limiting cases of a vertical plate (C/L = 0) and a circular cylinder (C/L = 1.0). The vertical plate predictions by Eq. 4.48 are slightly different than those based on the more accurate specialized equations given in the section on external natural convection in flat plates. 

Using the procedure outlined in this chapter for using the boundars laser equations to find the-forced convective heat transfer rate from a circular cylinder buried in a saturated porous medium, investigate the heat transfer rate from cylinders with an elliptical cross-section with their major axes aligned with the forced flow. The surface velocity distribution should be obtained from a suitable book on fluid mechanics. 

The method of domain perturbations was used for many years before its formal rationalization by D. D. Joseph D. D. Joseph, Parameter and domain dependence of eigenvalues of elliptic partial differential equations, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 24, 325-351 (1967). See also Ref. 3f. The method has been used for analysis of a number of different problems in fluid mechanics A. Beris, R. C. Armstrong and R. A. Brown, Perturbation theory for viscoelastic fluids between eccentric rotating cylinders, J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech. 13, 109-48 (1983) R. G. Cox, The deformation of a drop in a general time-dependent fluid flow, J. Fluid Mech. 37, 601-623 (1969) ... 

The number of scattering problems that can be solved analytically is severly limited by the inseparability of the vector wave equation in all but a very few coordinate systems. In the majority of cases various approximate methods have to be used. An excellent review of the analytic results for perfectly conducting bodies has been given by BOWMAN et al. [4.291. These include circular, elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic cylinders the wedge, the half plane, and other geometries. For infinite dielectric circular cylinders, see the review in KERKER [4.2].
