Three Dimensional Laminar Boundary Layer Over Body Of Revolution At Incidence Part Ix Difference Method And Documentation Of Program Blind3 PDF Download

The previously investigated three-dimensional boundary layer near the plane of symmetry of an inclined spheroid is extended along three directions: wider range of solutions, explanations to questions left unanswered before, and comparisons with experiments. Extended solutions provide more complete trends for incidences from zero to 90 degrees and for thickness ratios ranging from unity for a sphere to nearly zero for a long inclined sylinder. Among these trends is how the separation changes from one type to another and then back again with increasing incidence. Explanations are given for a number of unconventional features; included here is why the lateral derivative of the cross velocity profile reverses. Agreement with Wilson's recent experiments (designed specifically for partial check of the results obtained earlier) enhances the significance of the investigation undertaken.
