An inverse boundary-layer method for compressible laminar and turbulent boundary layers

This paper presents an efficient two-point finite-difference method for solving the compressible laminar and turbulent boundary-layer equations for a given external velocity distribution (standard problem) as well as an efficient method for solving the same equations for a prescribed positive wall shear or displacement thickness (inverse problem). In the equations the Reynolds stress terms are modeled by using the eddy-diffusivity formulas developed by Cebeci and Smith. The accuracy of the method is investigated for both incompressible and compressible turbulent flows. A cf C f f g h H K L M P Pr Pr< Re u,v UT
