Progress in Viscous-Inviscid Solvers (VIS)
Abstract
The aim of these lectures was an introduction to the further extensions of boundary layer theory, which rely on the development of full viscous-inviscid interaction solvers, in three-dimensional flows. At the present time, however, the state of the art still does not accommodate the full 3D-problem. It is more or less restricted, on one hand, to advances in uncoupled 3D-boundary layer problems, direct or inverse, and, on the other hand, to developments in full viscous-inviscid solvers for the 2D or quasi-3D infinite swept wing flows, the latter developments involving the coupling and the calculation of quasi-3D closed separations. The present lectures were mainly devoted to the developments obtained by the author and his colleagues in these two areas. These developments were outlined after describing shortly the different strategies which can be used to split the Navier-Stokes problem into a viscous-inviscid interaction problem, in two or three dimensions.
