An Outline of Methods Applicable to Viscous Fluid Flow Problems,

Abstract

Given the Navier-Stokes equations in general orthogonal curvilinear coordinates, specific equations for particular cases are indicated. In the notation of singular perturbation theory, the first approximation to the inner expansion (boundary-layer) is solved in simple cases. Some remarks are also made concerning shock-wave boundary-layer interactions; in particular, no approximation to the equations is found in the immediate vicinity of the interaction. Base flows are also mentioned. (Author)
