Wake flow past a plate with spoiler II: Gravity effects

The effects of transverse gravity on steady flow past a split plate are investigated, by adopting the wake model proposed in the preceding paper (I). The existence and uniqueness of the solution as well as the convergence of an iteration process involving the free streamlines are proved for large Froude numbers by means of the Banach contraction mapping principle using Lipschitz norms. © 1986 Birkhäuser Verlag.
