Three-Dimensional Boundary Layers.

Abstract

This report contains papers presented to an AGARD Fluid Dynamics Panel Round Table Discussion held in May 1984. The discussion was part of the Panel's Symposium devoted to Improvement of Aerodynamic Performance through Boundary Layer Control and High Lift Systems, reported in AGARD Conference Proceedings CP 365. The purpose of the discussion was to review recent progress in, and to provide guidance for future work in the field of 3-D boundary layers. Turbulence modelling, which is unsatisfactory in 2-D flows, is even less suitable for three-dimensional boundary layers. More sophisticated models do not appear to work better in many cases than simple ones. The situation is even less satisfactory for separated flows where the validity of certain computations is in question. Lack of accurate, extensive data hampers efforts to comprehend important flow mechanisms and validate computational results. The extensive review reported at the conference and in this discussion is remarkable in the paucity of high-quality experimental data cited. Keywords include: Three dimensional flow, and High lift devices.
