An analytical solution is developed in two near-wake regions using an inner and outer layer coordinate expansion technique. In region I, extending downstream approximately ten initial sublayer thicknesses, a laminar inner wake grows into the trailing-edge laminar sublayer yielding the Goldstein solution, where the centerline velocity and inner thickness grow as x. In region II, extending downstream approximately ten full boundarylayer thicknesses, a turbulent inner layer grows into the initial logarithmic layer; here the centerline velocity is shown to increase logarithmically with downstream distance. Comparisons of the solution are made with the near-wake data of Chevray and Kovasznay.
