Direct Numerical Simulation of Fully Developed Flow Near a Flat Plate

Abstract

A traditional local approach is applied for simulation of a statistically steady flow near a flat plate. A local flow domain is placed far from the leading edge of the plate. A coupled system of the Prandtl and the Navier Stokes equations for disturbances is chosen as the governing system of equations. Fully spectral approach is used for space discretization. This helps to avoid prescribing inflow and outflow boundary conditions. Acceptable particular solutions are selected to describe physically adequate phenomenon. A new spectral method for integrating the Cauchy problem is adopted to study the flow evolution.
