Abstract
Oswatitsch's analytical expression for the slope of a viscous flow separation or reattachment streamline is shown to be consistent with detailed experimental data on a supersonic boundary layer flow past a compression corner. An extension of his analysis is then given which yields a comparable new relation for the streamlinecurvature just above separation in either laminar or turbulent two-dimensional compressible boundary layer flows. This result is applied to examine the possible occurrence of Gortler streamwise vortices due to such curvature.
