Abstract
The viscous Stokes flow induced in a rectangular cavity by a parallel shear flow is calculated by a direct finite difference method. The separating streamline and the intensity of the circulation of the closed streamline flow within the cavity are shown as a function of cavity shape, relative channel size to cavity size, and the parallel velocity profile within the channel. Application of the results to viscous flow observations are indicated.
