A METHOD OF CALCULATING BOUNDARY-LAYER THICKNESS IN AXISYMMETRIC NOZZLES WITH LAMINAR HYPERSONIC FLOW

摘要

The excellent agreement between measured boundary layer thickness and thickness calculated by Sivells and Payne recommends their method for calculating turbulent boundary layer growth in axisymmetric hypersonic nozzles. It was thought worthwhile to adapt their appcoaeh to the laminar boundary layer. This analysis, along with a limited amount of corroborating data, is presented herein.
