By using a weakly nonlinear analysis, it is shown that such flows exist for a curved plate. Fully nonlinear solutions are computed by a boundary integral equation method, and new nonlinear solutions for supercritical and generalized critical flows past a curved plate are presented. %Z © 2009 Cambridge University Press
