| Abstract: | A method of calculation is constructed for the Navier-Stokes equations using asymptotic expansions for high Reynolds numbers and matching techniques to join solutions (for example, [1]). The equations and boundary conditions for the first approximation, the method, and the results of numerical integration for the region lying above the separation point, including the separation point as well, are presented. A comparison is made with experimental data, and corrections corresponding to the second approximation are estimated. On the basis of these results, the limits of applicability of the approximate theories that utilize the boundary layer equations are discussed. |
