    A free-streamline flow model for flow past a polygonal obstacle with a near-wake terminating in Tulin's double spiral vortices is constructed. The flows are univalent for a large class of geometries. In addition a criterion is given for determining the underpressure as function of the Reynolds number using the Stokes solution for diffusion of a vortex sheet, and an extension of Tulin and Hsu's matching theory to transitional flows.
