An iterative scheme of solving the Navier-Stokes equations for unsteady two-dimensional flow about a deforming and translating cylinder is given. In the kth iteration, the convected vorticity appears as the source term in an equation of transient diffusion of vorticity. A novel integral transform is used to reduce this transient vorticity equation to a k-dimensional heat equation. The bounded solution of this equation is obtained with a general method of superposition for problems involving a moving boundary. An equation describing the migration of the separation point on a deforming cylinder in unsteady cross flows is derived from the analytically obtained velocity field. The radial expansion of the cylinder surface is shown to hasten the separation time and to increase the separation angle. The results imply that in the steady flow past a body that is moving forward and sinking at constant rates, the locus of points at which the azimuthal component of skin friction changes sign originates on the leeward ray at a point downstream of the front tip.
