This paper gives a description of a calculation method for 3D turbulent and laminar boundary layers on nondevelopable surfaces. A simple eddy viscosity model is incorporated in the method. Special attention is given to the organization of the computations to circumvent as much as possible stepsize limitations. The method is also able to proceed the computation around separated flow regions. The method has been applied to the laminar boundary layer flow over a flat plate with attached cylinder, and to a turbulent boundary layer flow over an airplane wing.

SummarySome new solutions for steady incompressible laminar boundary layer flow, obtained by Gortler, have been used to test the accuracy of two methods which are commonly used to predict separation. A modification of Stratford's criterion for separation is given in this paper and is probably the most accurate and the simplest of all methods at present in use. Modified numerical functions are also given for Thwaites's method of predicting the main characteristics of the boundary layer over the whole surface, which improve the accuracy of the method.

New solutions are presented for non-stationary boundary layers induced by planar, cylindrical and spherical Chapman-Jouguet (C-J) detonation waves. The numerical results show that the Prandtl number ( Pr ) has a very significant influence on the boundary-layer-flow structure. A comparison with available time-dependent heat-transfer measurements in a planar geometry in a 2H 2 + O 2 mixture shows much better agreement with the present analysis than has been obtained previously by others. This lends confidence to the new results on boundary layers induced by cylindrical and spherical detonation waves. Only the spherical-flow analysis is given here in detail for brevity.
