Calculation of Three-Dimensional Boundary Layers I. Swept Infinite Cylinders and Small Cross Flow
This paper presents a general method for solving the laminar and turbulent boundary-layer equations for swept infinite cylinders and for small cross flows. In the equations the Reynolds shear stress terms are eliminated by using an eddy viscosity concept. A very efficient and accurate two-point finite-difference method used earlier by Keller and Cebeci for two-dimensional flows is used to solve the governing equations. The accuracy of the method is investigated for several flows by comparing the calculated results with experiment and with those obtained by Bradshaw. In general, the agreement with experiment and with Bradshaw's results are quite satisfactory. A b K KltK2 L P +
