Book Description
Thick boundary-layer equations, including the variation of the metric coefficients with distance normal to the surface, are solved from the nose to the tail of an elongated three-dimensional body. Iteration between potential and boundary-layer flow solutions is adopted to obtain a converged solution in the stern region. The complete procedure makes use of Keller's box numerical scheme in a non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system and an isotropic eddy-viscosity model for the Reynolds stress tensor in both streamwise and crosswise directions. The numerical method allows the calculation of flows in which the crosswise component of velocity cntains regions of flow reversal across the boundary layer. The inviscid pressure is determined by using the Hess-Smith method. The program is validated for an axisymmetric body, and then the calculations are compared with measurements for two three-dimensional bodies having elliptical transverse sections. Keywords: Thick turbulent stern flows; Longitudinal and transverse curvature effects; Turbulence modeling; and Eddy viscosity.
