| Abstract: | The finite difference method is used to investigate laminar and turbulent boundary layers on a flat surface in the case of circular streamlines of the exterior flow. It is shown that when the flow is turned through large angles the behavior of the boundary layer over a finite circular sector differs qualitatively from an infinite sector. A study is made of the influence of the Mach number, the angle through which the flow is turned, and the wall temperature on the secondary flows in the boundary layer.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 35–41, January–February, 1982. |
