Freely interacting axisymmetric boundary layers on bodies of revolution
Abstract
Numerical solutions for freely interacting laminar axisymmetric boundary layers are presented. The results show that solutions for expansive free interactions are terminated by a singularity while solutions for compressive free interactions develop a plateau region far downstream of the separation point qualitatively similar to that in two-dimensional flows. Analytical expressions describing the flow properties near the singularity and inside the plateau region are noted.
