Abstract

A new and direct approach for calculating the first higher order potential flow along an axial corner is presented. For the incompressible potential flow, the present approach demonstrates that the displacement effects in the corner may be visualized as the superposition of the displacement effects for the two intersecting semi-infinite plates forming the corner. The compressible subsonic potential flow is then obtained by the Prandtl-Glauert rule. Linearized airfoil theory is used to determine the potential flow for the supersonic case. The asymptotic viscous flow, to lowest order, for the corner problem has been calculated for general compressible flow. The analysis presented here recovers all the previously obtained lowest order asymptotic solutions. Cross flow velocity profiles have been given for M f between 0.001 to 4 for an adiabatic wall as well as for a prescribed temperature at the wall. The behavior of the cross flow skin-friction coefficient is shown to be quite different from that of the skin friction coefficient due to classical axial flow.
