The numerical computation of three-dimensional turbulent boundary layers
Abstract
The governing equations for compressible three dimensional turbulent boundary layers in a general coordinate system are given. Methods for the solution of these equations and their integral counterparts are compared. Finite difference techniques are reviewed. Integral methods retain their advantages of speed and robustness which make them particularly suitable for viscous-inviscid interaction calculations. The finite difference methods are however not restricted by any velocity profile assumptions and allow more advanced turbulence models to be more readily incorporated. The emergence of inverse methods both integral and finite difference is predicted.
