A numerical solution has been obtained for the starting flow of a viscous fluid past a circular cylinder at Reynolds numbers 40 and 100. The method used is the step-by-step forward integration in time of Helmholtz's vorticity equation. The advantage of working with the vorticity is that calculations can be confined to the region of non-zero vorticity near the cylinder.The general features of the flow, including the formation of the eddies attached to the rear of the cylinder, have been determined, and the drag has been calculated. At R = 40 the drag on the cylinder decreases with time to a value very near that for the steady flow.
