Boundary-Layer Calculations in the Inverse Mode for Incompressible Flows over Infinite Swept Wings

The boundary-layer equations for incompressible steady turbulent flow are solved in the inverse mode under the infinite swept cylinder assumption. The Keller box is used with weighted upwinding in order to suppress oscillations in the solution. An anisotropic eddy-viscosity formula is used for modeling the turbulence. The computed results are compared with measured data. The scheme allows marching into the region of threedimensional separated flow. Good agreement with experiments was obtained.
