  The planar problem of a viscous laminar flow around elliptical cylinders
under angle of attack is considered. From the solution of the laminar boundary
layer equations using the Loytsyansky local similarity method, the shear stress
at the ellipse boundary and the separation point is found. From the separation
points velocities equality, the circulation is found. A complete solution to
the problem of the velocity and pressure field outside the boundary layer is
also constructed. The coefficients of lift and resistance are found depending
on the angle of attack and the ellipse axes ratio. The theoretical results are
compared with the available experimental data and direct numerical solutions of
the Navier-Stokes equations.
