Calculation of the three-dimensional boundary layer with solution of all three momentum equations

摘要

The paper describes the application of a calculation procedure to three flow situations which can be characterized as three-dimensional boundary layers. Unlike most of the published methods, the present procedure solves all momentum equations and takes full account of the pressure variation in directions normal to the main-flow direction. The applications demonstrate that, when the boundary conditions exhibit certain discontinuities, only the solution of all three momentum equations can give satisfactory accuracy. The results of the present calculations are compared with available similarity solutions wherever possible.
