Summary
An analytical solution is obtained for the problem of axisymmetric inviscid
incompressible flow over a prolate spheroid placed in an oscillating free stream. The
oscillations are harmonic and the free stream is always parallel to the spheroid major
axis. The flow is governed by the Strouhal number and the spheroid axis ratio.
Analytical expressions are obtained for the potential function, the surface pressure
distribution, and the hydrodynamic force coefficient. The solution covers a wide
range of spheroidal shapes ranging from a sphere at one end to a thin needle at the
other.
