D'Alembert's Paradox in Near Real Conditions

This paper examines the D'Alembert's paradox in the flow of ideal incompressible medium around a cylinder when flow conditions are close to real ones.The velocity profile of incoming flow is specified on a section at a finite distance from the cylinder.An additional parameter is introduced to determine the degree of asymmetry of the incoming flow.Initially, the value оf this parameter is assumed to be small.The parameter that determines the geometric dimensions of the cylinder is also introduced.Some cases are identified when the situation is close to D'Alembert's paradox in its classic version, and when it is not.It depends on the values of introduced parameters.
