A locally similar solution for three-dimensional turbulent boundary layers
Abstract
A locally similar solution for three-dimensional compressible turbulent boundary layers has been developed for rapid determination of three-dimensional viscous flow characteristics. The analysis makes use of a three-layer eddy viscosity model and requires inviscid flow data to solve the transformed governing equations in a streamline coordinate system. An iterative numerical scheme is used to obtain the local similarity solution, which is very useful for parametric or preliminary vehicle design studies. The validity of the analytical model has been demonstrated by comparing computed results with experimental data as well as available analytical solutions based on an explicit finite-difference scheme.
