Applied Boundary Layer Theory From Fundamentals to Simulations

Book Abstract

This Book ?Applied Boundary Layer Theory From Fundamentals to Simulations? provides readers with the opportunity to explore its theoretical and experimental studies and their importance to the nonlinear theory of boundary layer flows, the theory of heat and mass transfer, and the dynamics of fluid. With the theory's importance for a wide variety of applications, applied mathematicians, scientists, and engineers - especially those in fluid dynamics - along with engineers of aeronautics, will undoubtedly welcome this authoritative, up-to-date book. Some new analytical results in 3D boundary layer theory are reviewed and discussed. It includes the perturbation theory for 3D flows,analyses of 3D boundary layer equation singularities and corresponding real flow structures, investigations of 3D boundary layer distinctive features for hypersonic flows for flat blunted bodies including the heat transfer and the laminar-turbulent transition and influences of these phenomena on flows, and the new approach to the analysis of the symmetric flow instability over thin bodies and studies of the control possibility with the electrical discharge using new model of this phenomenon interaction with the 3D boundary layer. Some new analytical solutions of boundary layer and Navier-Stokes equations are presented. Applications of these results to analyze viscous flow characteristics of real objects such as aircraft wings, fuselages, and other bodies are considered.
