Description:
The present paper deals with problems of two-dimensional laminar and turbulent flow of a viscous incompressible fluid near the trailing edge of a thin flat plate. The complete system of Navier-Stokes equations is solved by means of MacCormack's finite-difference scheme. In the laminar case, the results are compared with the triple deck solution of Daniels (1973). The comparisons indicate that the asymptotic triple deck theory for supersonic trailing-edge flow is accurate within five percent for Reynolds numbers greater than 1000. In the turbulent case, the Prandtl-Van Driest-Clausner algebraic eddy viscosity model is used, showing that the region of upstream influence is roughly of the order of the boundary layer thickness.
