Momentum integral method at the beginning of crossflow development
Abstract
The necessity of choosing crossflow profiles which satisfy a compatibility condition is demonstrated for eliminating problems at the transition point in switching from two-dimensional to three-dimensional numerical calculations. Equations are developed for three-dimensional boundary layers and solutions are expressed in terms of integral thicknesses. The constraints imposed on the transition from two- to three-dimensional flow simulations involve approximating the crossflow values close to zero. Furthermore, the estimation of the boundary layer thickness for streamwise and crosswise profiles is considered, which alters the values for the momentum thicknesses for the horizontal and vertical velocities, but also permits solving for accelerating and crossflow profiles.
