Calculation of three-dimensional laminar boundary-layer flows.

Accuracy tests have been made of the approximation, proposed recently by Wang (1971), which reduces the computation of three-dimensional, laminar, compressible, boundary-layer equations to the problem of solving two-dimensional type boundary-layer equations. The tests were made by a comparison of the results achieved using Wang's method with a fully three-dimensional boundary-layer calculation. Results of the comparison are tabulated and are found to be in good agreement.

On the calculation of three dimensional laminar boundary layer flows

An approximation which reduces the computation of three dimensional, laminar, compressible, boundary layer equations to the problem of solving two dimensional type boundary layer equations is presented. A comparison of this method with a fully three dimensional boundary layer calculation is provided.

Finite difference solution to the three-dimensional, incompressible thermal energy boundary-layer equation

An implicit numerical method has been adopted for the solution to the three-dimensional, energy boundary-layer equation. The energy equation is written in terms of a dimensionless temperature function, the relative stagnation-enthalpy difference, and transformed by the introduction of a Blasius-type transformation of coordinates as well as dimensionless stream functions. The method is applied to the problem consisting of an infinite cylinder joined with its axis perpendicular to a thin, flat, heated plate. A Prandtl number equal to one is simply considered.
