The influence of acceleration on laminar similar boundary layers
Abstract
Strongly accelerating, laminar compressible boundary layers are considered. It is argued that similar solutions are a good approximation of the nonsimilar case. The mathematical properties of the solutions are discussed and the bounds for the skin-friction and heat-transfer coefficients are found. Convenient and reliable correlations for both coefficients, as well as the velocity and temperature profiles, are suggested.
