An economical, “parabolic/hyperbolic hybrid,” numerical prediction procedure, employing marching integration, is presented for the computation of supersonic flows of the boundary layer class in which embedded pressure waves are present. The hyperbolic component is based on the method of characteristics, while the computational procedure of Patankar and Spalding constitutes the parabolic component. The method is evaluated against analytic solutions for inviscid flows and against experiment for laminar and turbulent near-wall flows. Calculations for laminar and turbulent free shear flows are also presented. The method performs well when the viscous/wave interaction is not strong enough to induce significant “upstream influence.”

Solutions of the two-dimensional, unsteady integral momentum equation are obtained via the method of characteristics for two limiting modes of light gas launcher operation, the “constant base pressure gun” and the “simple wave gun”. Example predictions of boundary layer thickness and heat transfer are presented for a particular 1 in. hydrogen gun operated in each of these modes. Results for the constant base pressure gun are also presented in an approximate, more general form.

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.

SummaryRecently two authors, Nash and Goldberg, have suggested, intuitively, that the rate at which the shear stress distribution in an incompressible, two-dimensional, turbulent boundary layer would return to its equilibrium value is directly proportional to the extent of the departure from the equilibrium state. Examination of the behaviour of the integral properties of the boundary layer supports this hypothesis. In the present paper a relationship similar to the suggestion of Nash and Goldberg is derived from the local balance of the kinetic energy of the turbulence. Coupling this simple derived relationship to the boundary layer momentum and moment-of-momentum integral equations results in quite accurate predictions of the behaviour of non-equilibrium turbulent boundary layers in arbitrary adverse (given) pressure distributions.
