Unsteady Laminar Flow.

Abstract

This report was aimed at developing the methodology for computing unsteady laminar boundary layers with flow reversal and establishing a new unsteady separation criterion. The calculation of two-dimensional, unsteady boundary layers based strictly on the analogy with the steady, three-dimensional problems has been completed. The results demonstrated the validity of the proposed unsteady separation criterion. As a prelude to understanding the full, three-dimensional, unsteady problem, this report also treated an unsteady symmetry-plane boundary layer. Initial test calculations were successful, but the bulk of the computation remains to be carried out.
