Course Objectives
The emphasis in this course is on the theoretical development of solution techniques for the
compressible and incompressible boundary layer equations. The boundary layer equations are derived in
general surface coordinates and details of exact and approximate methods of solution are presented.
Topics Covered
1. The Navier-Stokes compressible and incompressible equations. (6 hours)
2. Exact solutions to the laminar incompressible boundary layer equations. General similarity concepts.
Solutions to the Falkner-Skan equations. Forward and reverse flow. Finite difference methods. Blasius
series method. (8 hours)
3. Modern numerical algorithms for two-point boundary value problems. Applications to typical problems.
(6 hours)
4. Approximate solution of laminar compressible boundary layer equations. Local similarity. KarmanPohlhausen method. Compressibility transformation. (6 hours)
5. Introduction to turbulent boundary layers. Eddy viscosity concept. (2 hours)
6. Tests. (2 hours)
