The effect of large mass injection on the following three-dimensional laminar compressible boundary-layer flows is investigated by employing the method of matched asymptotic expansions: (i) swirling flow in a laminar compressible boundary layer over an axisymmetric surface with variable cross-section and (ii) laminar compressible boundary-layer flow over a yawed infinite wing in a hypersonic flow. The resulting equations are solved numerically by combining the finite-difference technique with quasi-linearization. An increase in the swirl parameter, the yaw angle or the wall temperature is found to be capable of bringing the viscous layer nearer the surface and reducing the effects of massive blowing.

SummaryThe growth of the laminar compressible boundary layer on a moving flat wall is considered analytically for the case of zero velocity in the free stream outside the boundary layer. The results of this analysis are compared with other published results for the cases in which the free stream has some finite velocity. In all the cases considered in the present paper, the boundary layer is taken to originate at some stationary point on the moving wall. This type of boundary-layer flow occurs behind moving shock waves and it is argued that the case of particular interest in the present paper, that of the stationary gas outside the boundary layer, provides bounding values of such parameters as displacement and momentum thicknesses for shock-induced laminar boundary-layer flows.
