Similar Solutions of the Attached and Separated Compressible Laminar Boundary Layer with Heat Transfer and Pressure Gradient

Abstract

The development of governing equations and tabulation of similar solutions to the two-dimensional, laminar, compressible boundary layer with heat transfer are presented. Similar velocity and temperature profiles and global quantities such as displacement thickness, momentum thickness, form factor, etc., are presented for 116 pressure gradient-heat transfer combinations. Surface temperatures for these cases range from absolute zero (S(0) = - 1) to twice the free stream stagnation temperature (S(0) = + 1), while the streamwise pressure gradient varies from values corresponding to maximum reversed flow (beta=-0.36) to those of extremely accelerated flows (beta = 20). Results are presented at regular intervals of the parameters S(0) and beta, allowing for straight-forward comparisons between cases. Five decimal place accuracy is maintained for all results.
