Second-order effects in self-similar laminar compressible boundary-layer flows
Abstract
Second-order effects associated with longitudinal curvature, transverse curvature, entropy gradients, stagnation enthalpy gradient, velocity slip, temperature jump and displacement speed in self-similar two-dimensional and axisymmetric flows of a compressible fluid are studied. The self-similar governing equations for second-order effects show that the four parameters, due to longitudinal curvature, transverse curvature, displacement and body shape are needed to describe the flow. Numerical solutions and several closed form solutions are obtained. The present study is found to contain all the previous studies in the self-similar domain as special cases.
