The semi-analytical solution for transient electroosmotic flow through elliptic cylindrical microchannels is derived from the Navier-Stokes equations using the Laplace transform. The electroosmotic force expressed by the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation is considered the external force in the Navier-Stokes equations. The velocity field solution is obtained in the form of the Mathieu and modified Mathieu functions and it is capable of describing the flow behavior in the system when the boundary condition is either constant or varied. The fluid velocity is calculated numerically using the inverse Laplace transform in order to describe the transient behavior. Moreover, the flow rates and the relative errors on the flow rates are presented to investigate the effect of eccentricity of the elliptic cross-section. The investigation shows that, when the area of the channel cross-sections is fixed, the relative errors are less than 1% if the eccentricity is not greater than 0.5. As a result, an elliptic channel with the eccentricity not greater than 0.5 can be assumed to be circular when the solution is written in the form of trigonometric functions in order to avoid the difficulty in computing the Mathieu and modified Mathieu functions.

Exciting forces and moments due to plane incident waves on a stationary platform are studied in this paper. The platform is a vertical cylinder with a finite draft and elliptical cross section. The mathematical solution to the diffraction problem is obtained on the basis of the linearized long wave approximation. Numerical results via Mathieu functions are presented for a shiplike body with beam-to-length ratio Various draft-to-depth ratios and angles of incidence are considered. Results have been checked with the limiting case of a circular cylinder for the long-wave length range. Aside from its own practical interest, the present theory provides a basis for comparison with other approximate theories of slender-body type and serves as a prelude to the corresponding calculations for arbitrary wavelengths.

Linear Integral Equations

Some years ago Lambe and Ward (1) and Erdélyi (2) obtained integral equations for Heun polynomials and Heun functions. The integral equations discussed by these authors were of the formFurther, as is well known, the Heun equation includes, among its special cases, Lamé's equation and Mathieu's equation and so (1.1) may be considered a generalisation of the integral equations satisfied by Lamé polynomials and Mathieu functions. However, integral equations of the type (1.1) are not the only ones satisfied by Lamé polynomials; Arscott (3) discussed a class of non- linear integral equations associated with these functions. This paper then is concerned with discussing the existence of non-linear integral equations satisfied by solutions of Heun's equation.
