A User's Manual for the Grid Adaptive Boundary Layer (GABL) Computer Program.

Abstract

A grid adaptive boundary layer (GABL) computer program was developed for computing the laminar boundary layer flow over a prolate spheroid at an angle of attack. The method of computation uses a solution-adaptive grid in the coordinate normal to the body surface. The main objective in developing this program was to provide a three-dimensional boundary-layer calculation technique which could be extended to more general body shapes. A description of the method, the input and output of the program, and the procedure to execute the program are described in this report. Keywords: Boundary layer; Computational fluid dynamics. (jhd)
