Calculation of three-dimensional laminar and turbulent boundary layers on bodies of revolution at incidence
Abstract
The capabilities and limitations of present-day three-dimensional boundary-layer calculation procedures are explored by using two different methods to predict laminar and turbulent boundary layers on bodies of revolution at incidence. The test cases are rather severe insofar as they include extreme flow features such as large and reversing crossflows and two types of separation. It is shown that boundary-layer calculation procedures have not yet reached a stage of development where they can be used with confidence to predict such complex flows.
