Two (one and a modified) of the simple methods for calculating the inverse problems of stationary laminar boundary layer of an incompressible fluid are presented. They belong to the so-called method of moments and are developed on the basis of the approximation procedure which is a generalization of the KÄRMÄN-POH-LHAUSEN's method, and has been applied to the standard problems.
The first method is adequate for calculating the velocity distribution outside the boundary layer under the condition of prescribed wall shear, and is applied to BLASIUS' flow and HoWARTH's flow up to the separation point. The accuracy is found to be satisfactory.
The modified method is suitable for analyzing the flow including separation, and is applied to a tentative to proceed beyond the separation point as a continuation of HOWARTH'S flow. A flow pattern after the separation is worked out.
Finally, HORTON's problem concerning the separating and reattaching boundary layer is recalculated through the first method. It is clarified that our present method, much less laborious than-HORTON's, yields the accuracy almost comparable with the original solution.
