A Simplified Method Calculating The Laminar Boundary Layer

Abstract

A some what simplified method calculating the steady and incompressible laminar boundary layer flow is developed basing on the idea of the “local similarity”. The analysis is performed by using the variables proposed by Goertler. The calculated results are utilized to predict the separation points in some decelerated flows and the comparison with other exact solutions shows that the value of the “similar parameter” may be taken as −0.224 at the separation points in this method.
