Description:
A previously developed finite-difference procedure for calculating unsteady, incompressible, laminar boundary layers on an oscillating flat plate is applied to a wing section undergoing high-amplitude pitching oscillations about various mean incidences. To start the entire boundary-layer calculation, appropriate initial conditions and outer boundary conditions are specified, using a stagnation-point fixed frame of reference. The breakdown of the numerical calculation procedure in the x,t-domain is interpreted to coincide with unsteady separation. Details of the boundary-layer behavior in the vicinity of separation are investigated, and a close analogy between the present results and those for a three-dimensional steady separation is found.
