A Simplified Method for Predicting Body Temperature Distribution in the Preliminary Design of Heated Underwater Bodies.

Abstract

A previous effort (AD-A053 254) in the prediction of body temperature distributions to stabilize the boundary layer flow has resulted in a methodology for doing this. Recently it was found that the number of parameters could be reduced by one by means of an affine transformation. The previous method has thus been simplified. In addition, the numerical computational method was changed to one based on Keller's box method. This has permitted greater accuracy and stability in certain computational regions. This memorandum reports on this more simple method and again presents information on laminar separation and transition.
