A note on the distortion of a flat-plate boundary layer by free-stream vorticity normal to the plate
The purpose of this note is to construct a local solution that eliminates a residual velocity discontinuity in the inviscid portion of a solution obtained in a recent paper by Goldstein, Leib and Cowley (1992). This result is of importance because it shows that the solution obtained in that paper is entirely non-singular outside the viscous wall boundary layer and that any singularity in the problem will have to arise in the usual way through a breakdown in the viscous boundary layer.
