Two-Phase Laminar Boundary Layer Flow around a Wedge.

Abstract

This thesis theoretically presents the phenomena involved in the flow of an incompressible fluid over a wedge with a second incompressible, lighter, and less viscous fluid blown through the surface of the wedge. A method is developed to determine the inner fluid layer thickness, the wall shear stress and the resulting local drag reduction. The results predict substantial drag reduction. (Author)
