Title: Numerical Solution of the Laminar Boundary Layer Equations
Authors: Katotakis, Stamatios
Advisor: Vlachopoulos, J.
Department: Chemical Engineering
Keywords: Laminar Boundary Layer;layer equations;Wu-type starting profiles
Publication Date: Nov-1969
Abstract: <p> An implicit finite difference technique has been developed for the solution of the steady two dimensional boundary layer equations. </p> <p> The numerical method is free of stability limitations and similarity assumptions. Use has been made of Wu-type starting profiles which enable one to start the calculation from the leading edge. </p> <p> Attractive features of the technique are its simplicity, flexibility and applicability to a wide range of boundary layer problems. In addition, results obtained from several case studies indicate that the numerical procedure is both accurate and fast. </p>
