A Coordinate Transformation for Unsteady Boundary Layer Equations

Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 4

Abstract

This paper presents a new coordinate transformation for unsteady, incompressible boundary layer equations that applies to both laminar and turbulent flows. A generalization of this coordinate transformation is also proposed. The unsteady boundary layer equations are subsequently derived. In addition, the boundary layer equations are derived using a time linearization approach and assuming harmonically varying small disturbances.
