A finite difference method for inverse solutions of 3-D turbulent boundary-layer flow
Abstract
A finite difference method has been developed to solve the 3-D turbulent boundary-layer equations by inverse procedures: the longitudinal and transverse displacement thicknesses or the wall shear stress components can be prescribed. The method applies to isoenergetic compressible flows and an algebraic turbulence model as well as a two-transport equation model are considered. Applications made in subsonic and transonic flows show that a separation line can be crossed and that it is possible to extend the calculation in a separated zone and beyond a reattachment line. Results obtained are in reasonable agreement with available experimental data.
