Abstract:
The behavior and effect of pressure waves in a supersonic boundary layer are examined, and the assumptions of compressible and higher order boundary layer theory are critically reassessed. Qualitative arguments are presented which indicate that some of the matching techniques and concepts of compressible boundary layer theory which have been borrowed directly from the incompressible theory may not always be valid. Generally, a transition region will exist between the inner viscous and outer inviscid flows wherein the streamwise pressure gradient varies significantly through the boundary layer, and inviscid pressure mechanisms may significantly affect the growth of the normal velocity. A new method is outlined treating viscous-inviscid flows with arbitrary pressure field where the viscous regions exhibit a boundary layer behavior. The aim is to develop a solution uniformly valid for the disturbed region. The method employs a combined numerical characteristics implicit difference scheme for solving the system of hyperbolic-parabolic differential equations that govern the flow. Author
