Tables of Exact Laminar-Boundary-Layer Solutions When the Wall is Porous and Fluid Properties are Variable

Abstract

The three partial differential equations of the laminar boundary layer for two-dimensional steady-state compressible flow have been transformed into two ordinary differential equations by the method of Pohlhausen, Falkner, and Skan. The ordinary equations include parameters for expressing the simultaneous effects of pressure gradient in the main-stream flow through a porous wall and property changes in the fluid due to large temperature differences between the wall and the free stream.
