A General Method for Calculating Three-Dimensional Incompressible Laminar and Turbulent Boundary Layers. III. Three-Dimensional Flows in Curvilinear Orthogonal Coordinates.

Abstract

This report summarizes the third phase of studies conducted on the computation of three-dimensional incompressible laminar and turbulent boundary layers. Solutions of the governing equations in curvilinear orthogonal coordinates are presented for a curved rectangular duct. In addition the small-cross-flow method developed by Cebeci, Kaups, and Mosinskis is applied to compute the boundary layer on a cargo ship hull. The method uses the eddy-viscosity concept to model the Reynolds shear-stress terms and uses a very efficient two-point finite-differnce method to solve the governing equations.
