SummaryThis paper presents the results of some calculations of the incompressible turbulent boundary layer on an infinite yawed wing. A discussion is made of the effects of increasing lift coefficient, and increasing Reynolds number, on the displacement thickness, and on the magnitude and direction of the skin friction. The effects of the state of the boundary layer (laminar or turbulent) along the attachment line are also considered.A study is made to determine whether the behaviour of the boundary layer can adequately be predicted by a two-dimensional calculation. It is concluded that there is no simple way to do this (as is provided, in the laminar case, by the principle of independence). However, with some modification, a two-dimensional calculation can be made to give an acceptable numerical representation of the chordwise components of the flow.

Integral Relations

The orthonormal version of the Method of Integral Relations (MIR) was applied to solve for a two-dimensional incompressible turbulent boundary layer. The flow was assumed to be nonseparating. Flows with favorable, unfavorable, and zero pressure gradient were considered, and comparisons made with available experimental data. In general, the method predicted very well the experimental results for flows with favorable or zero pressure gradient; for flows with unfavorable pressure gradient, it predicted the experimental data well only up to a certain distance from the initial station. This result is due to the flow not being in equilibrium beyond that distance. Finally, the scheme was shown to be efficient in obtaining numerical solutions.
