A finite difference technique for laminar and turbulent compressible boundary layers
Abstract
A technique for two dimensional and axisymmetric steady compressible boundary layer flow calculations is described. The method is used for flow regions ranging from incompressible to strongly supersonic outer flows. It can be generalized to other shear flows such as free jets, wall jets, wakes and duct flows. Calculations were performed for laminar flows, but results obtained using a simple mixing length model are also presented.
