Unsteady boundary layer research at VKI
Abstract
Research concerning unsteady laminar boundary layers related to the development of finite difference methods, the problem of 'separation' and applications involving arbitrary pressure gradients is considered. Finite difference methods have been developed for the study of unsteady incompressible and compressible boundary layers, taking into account heat transfer. A conceptual difficulty regarding the definition of the point of separation in unsteady boundary layers is also discussed.
