Abstract: | The development of machine computing technology permits calculating the boundary layer by direct numerical integration of the corresponding system of partial differential equations [1, 2]. In order to derive general conclusions concerning the boundary layer with a pressure gradient we must perform the integration for each concrete form of velocity specification at the outer edge of the boundary layer. The method of calculating the boundary layer used in the present study [3], based on the solution of a universal (independent of the specification of the velocity at the outer edge of the boundary layer) system of equations, permits the clarification of several general relationships. |
