| Abstract: | A numerical investigation in the approximation of boundary layer theory has been made of the development of the flow near the surface of a rotating plate in a two-dimensional flow with rectilinear streamlines perpendicular to the leading edge in a rotating coordinate system attached rigidly to the plate. In an earlier investigation 1] using the approximate method of integral relations, Kurosaka obtained and described quantitatively a transition from a Blasius boundary layer to an Eckmann boundary layer in the form of three-dimensional oscillations. The solution described in the present paper confirms the oscillatory nature of the development of the boundary layer, but the quantitative results differ strongly from Kurosaka's.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 154–157, May–June, 1982. |
