Approximate method for calculating turbulent boundary layer with positive pressure gradient

A single-parameter integral method is proposed for calculating the turbulent boundary layer with positive pressure gradient which makes it possible to calculate the friction, thermal flux, and layer thickness both ahead of the separation point and in some region behind the separation point.Notation u velocity - density - ^* displacement thickness - ^** momentum thickness - energy thickness - M Mach number - r radius - dynamic viscosity - c_p specific heat at constant pressure - Reynolds number based on initial boundary layer thickness - P Prandtl number - p₁ static pressure at point of initial interaction - p₂ static pressure at pressureplateau - p₀ stagnation pressure - T₀ stagnation temperature - I enthalpy - T_e recovery temperature - T_w⁰ temperature factor - H form parameter - r₁ recovery coefficientIndices 0 denotes initial section of boundary layer - 1 parameters taken at edge of boundary layer - w parameters taken at the wall temperature - * parameters referred to flow on a flat plate with =0
