COMPRESSIBLE BOUNDARY LAYER ON A YAWED SEMI-INFINITE FLAT PLATE WITH SUCTION AND INJECTION

Abstract

Boundary layer equations for 'Compressible flow over a yawed semi-infinite flat plate in flows with pressure gradient are transformed to another plane by Howarth's transformation. Under certain assumptions mentioned in the text the spanwise flow in the transformed plane may be treated as incompressible. Pohlhausen method is used to study the correlated incompressible case. The results in respect of the location of point of separation for the chordwise flow for one case are compared with those of Stewartson's Effects of compressibility ,suction and injection are studied.
