A bounded shear flow proposed by Glauert is re-examined, to determine more precisely the disturbance caused by the boundary layer on the plate. Toomre and Rott's result, that the pressure gradient due to bounding overtakes the Li-Murray value for an unbounded flow within a surprisingly short distance of the leading edge, is thereby confirmed in a more realistic context. But both of these are found to be less important than that due to the induced circulation predicted by Glauert. While bounding produces a larger leading edge drag than the unbounded theory predicts, circulation gives more lift. The discussion of pressure on and ahead of the plate is given for general bounding. In particular, it shows that the present results are typical and that the anomaly found by Toomre and Rott always disappears when the limit of remote bounding is taken correctly.
