The solution of the laminar and turbulent three dimensional boundary layer equations with a simple finite difference technique
Abstract
The three dimensional boundary layer equations were solved numerically using an implicit finite difference scheme. Turbulent flow is modelled with an eddy viscosity. Efficient procedures available for two dimensional calculations were used and computer programming effort and comparable execution times were required. Two model flows and one experimental flow, all of the infinite wing variety, are presented and show that the method performs satisfactorily. Suggestions for further applications are included.
