      Considered is a two-dimensional steady flow of power-law fluid past a stationary circular cylinder. The governing nonlinear equations, expressed in terms of a stream function and vorticity, are solved by finite differences. Parameters such as the drag coefficient, separation angle, wake length and critical Reynolds number are presented and contrasted with those of a Newtonian fluid.
