Theory, Computer Program, and Illustrative Examples for the Two-Dimensional Boundary Layer Flow of Ideal Gases.

Abstract

A computer program has been developed to calculate the two-dimensional boundary layer flow of ideal gases. The program is written in FORTRAN IV. Axisymmetric or plane geometries can be analyzed with the boundary layer laminar or turbulent, compressible or incompressible and either with or without heat transfer. A brief outline of the theory upon which the program is based is presented together with complete input instructions and sample input and output. In addition, results computed with this program are compared to available data and analytical solutions for a number of flow situations of interest.
