Compressible boundary layer calculation by finite element mixed approach
Abstract
A method for the compressible laminar boundary layer calculations is presented, based on the use of finite element of Hermitian type for the determination of the velocity profile, coupled with a space marching procedure in the streamwise direction. The theoretical and numerical aspects of the method are discussed. The method was applied to simple calculations, of which the exact solutions exist in the literature, with good agreement between the obtained and the exact solutions, demonstrating the correctness and reliability of the presented approach.
