Abstract
A method of solution of the compressible turbulent boundary-layer equations for twodimensional and axisymmetric flows, with transverse-curvature effects, is presented. The Reynolds shear-stress term is eliminated by an eddy-viscosity concept and the time mean of the product of a fluctuating velocity and temperature term appearing in the energy equation is eliminated by an eddy-conductivity concept. An implicit finite-difference method is used in the solution of both momentum and energy equations after they are linearized. Results are presented for several adiabatic compressible flows, with and without pressure gradients for Mach numbers up to 5. The results show that the method is quite accurate and fast; a typical flow can be calculated in one or two minutes on the IBM 360/65 computer.
