Boundary Layers with Large Local Gradients.

Abstract

A number of problems involving laminar boundary-layer interaction with an external flow are studied with the use of matched inner and outer asymptotic expansions. Among the examples included are incompressible boundary-layer flow at the trailing edge of a flat plate, interaction of a boundary layer and a weak incident oblique shock wave at supersonic and transonic speeds, base flow behind a wedge or backward-facing step at supersonic speeds, separation of an incompressible boundary layer, and leading and trailing-edge flows for a heated vertical plate in free convection.
