Steady laminar interacting boundary layers
Abstract
After a brief review of the Lighthill model, the study considers the asymptotic theory of interacting boundary layers. It is shown that asymptotic theory gives a unified description of the physical mechanisms of the interaction process. Consideration is given to (1) free interactions of supersonic boundary layers, (2) free transonic interactions, and (3) supersonic compression ramps. Comparison of numerical results with experimental data and solutions of the full Navier-Stokes equations shows good agreement.
