This book was released on 1967 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An approximate momentum integral solution for the compressible axisymmetrix laminar boundary layer when transverse curvature effects are important is presented. Both finite and infinite inviscid Mach numbers are considered. Detailed comparisons with exact asymptotic solutions are given. The method is found, in many instances, to agree to leading order with the exact solutions as the transverse curvature becomes very large--a property that none of the existing approximate solutions for compressible flow possess. Some example calculations for a cone in supersonic and hypersonic flow are presented. Also, the method is applied to the hypersonic self-induced pressure problem for a cone. (Author).
