Abstract

A procedure is presented for calculating the momentum and heat transfer in turbulent boundary layers, which uses the methods of lines and control volumes (MOLCV). The Liskovets (1965) method of lines is appropriately modified for the treatment of the conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy. Then, the Patankar (1980) variant of this method is introduced, wherein the discretization process of the participating transversal derivatives in the conservation equations is carried out via control volumes. The experimental data most heavily relied upon for comparison purposes were expressed in terms of global quantities, such as the local skin friction coefficient and the Stanton number, for an air flow along a flat plate, covering a range of Reynolds numbers from 10 to the 5th to 10 to the 7th. A comparison of calculated and experimental results showed the validity of the new procedure. 9 refs.
