Unsteady boundary layer on a two dimensional or axisymmetric body with higher order effects
Abstract
An analysis of the higher order effects upon the boundary layer growth on two dimensional and axisymmetric bodies which move impulsively with a linear velocity as an exponential function of time, is presented. Using the method of matched asymptotic expansions the full Navier-Stokes equations are solved analytically for the universal velocity profiles. The theory is applied to study the motion of cylinder in two dimensions and sphere in three dimensions.
