A Method for Computing Boundary-Layer Flows, Including Normal Pressure Gradient and Longitudinal Curvature Effects

Abstract

A method is presented for computing laminar and turbulent boundary- layer flows, including normal pressure gradient and longitudinal curvature as well as compressibility, transverse curvature, and other effects. The governing equations are transformed using the (omega squared) transformation to a von Mises form and solved using an implicit finite-difference scheme. The method is validated by comparing results with experimental data and results of other methods of computation.
