Investigation of Laminar Boundary Layer in Compressible Fluids Using the Crocco Method
Description:
Note presenting the use of the Crocco method to solve the simultaneous differential equations of momentum and energy involved in the flow of air in a thin laminar boundary layer on a flat plate. The Crocco method was used because it gave accurate results for arbitrary Prandtl number near unity. Variations of shear, velocity, temperature, and Mach number across the boundary layer are included.
