Multiparameter boundary layer method for slender bodies of revolution

The problem of the laminar and steady incompressible boundary layer on elongated slender bodies of revolution in an axisymmetric flow is examined in those cases in which the ratio of the boundary layer thickness to the radius of the body's cross section should not be neglected. For this purpose the boundary layer equation for slender bodies of revolution is universalized on the basis of Loitsyanskii's method.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, pp. 22–27, November–December, 1991.
