Abstract:

This report presents an efficient method for calculating laminar and turbulent boundary-layer flows for standard and inverse boundary-value problems. It is applicable to both incompressible and compressible flows. The standard boundary-layer problem considers the solution of the usual boundary-layer equations for a given external velocity distribution. The inverse problem considers the solution of the governing equations for assigned wall shear or assigned displacement thickness.
