A viscous-inviscid interaction scheme has been developed for computing steady incompressible laminar and turbulent flows in two-dimensional duct expansions. The viscous flow solutions are obtained by solving the boundary-layer equations inversely in a coupled manner by a finite-difference scheme; the inviscid flow is computed by numerically solving the Laplace equation for streamfunction using an ADI finite-difference procedure. The viscous and inviscid solutions are matched iteratively along displacement surfaces. Details of the procedure are presented in the present paper (Part 1), along with example applications to separated flows. The results compare favorably with experimental data. Applications to turbulent flows over a rearward-facing step are described in a companion paper (Part 2).


A numerical method is presented for calculating unsteady two-dimensional laminar and turbulent boundary layers with fluctuations in external velocity. The method used an eddy-viscosity formulation to model the Reynolds shear stress term appropriate to turbulent flow and an efficient two-point finite-difference method to solve the governing boundary-layer equations. The method is used to calculate phase angles between the wall shear stress and an oscillating external laminar boundary layer over a flat plate. The results are in excellent agreement with the analytic solutions of Lighthill for the high- and low-frequency limits and provide information in the region between. Similar calculations for turbulent flows are compared with experimental data and the method shown to be more precise than previously described attempts to represent flows of this type. The agreement between calculations and measurements is imperfect but probably within the resolution of the experiments and adequate for engineering purposes.

The nonclassical symmetries of boundary layer equations for two-dimensional and radial flows are considered. A number of exact solutions for problems under consideration were found in the literature, and here we find new similarity solution by implementing the SADE package for finding nonclassical symmetries.

Two-dimensional steady laminar flows past multiple thin blades positioned in near or exact sequence are examined for large Reynolds numbers. Symmetric configurations require solution of the boundary-layer equations alone, in parabolic fashion, over the successive blades. Non-symmetric configurations in contrast yield a new global inner–outer interaction in which the boundary layers, the wakes and the potential flow outside have to be determined together, to satisfy pressure-continuity conditions along each successive gap or wake. A robust computational scheme is used to obtain numerical solutions in direct or design mode, followed by analysis. Among other extremes, many-blade analysis shows a double viscous structure downstream with two streamwise length scales operating there. Lift and drag are also considered. Another new global interaction is found further downstream. All the interactions involved seem peculiar to multi-blade flows.

AbstractThe Prandtl boundary-layer theory is extended for an idealized elastico-viscous liquid. The boundary-layer equations are solved numerically for the case of two-dimensional flow near a stagnation point. It is shown that the main effect of elasticity is to increase the velocity in the boundary layer and also to increase the stress on the solid boundary.
