Aspects of the Calculation of Boundary Layers on Ships'.

Abstract

Some aspects of three-dimensional laminar boundary layers at attachment lines were investigated. In particular, the boundary layer on the attachment line between a nodal and saddle point of attachment was solved by numerical and perturbation methods. It was shown that the boundary layer equations could be solved in the separated region near the saddle point without viscous/inviscid interactions. The general three-dimensional boundary layer an oblate spheroids in edgewise flow was also investigated. Attention was focussed on crossflow reversal near the lateral ends (tips) of the spheroid.
