Computer program for calculating laminar and turbulent boundary layer development in compressible flowA computer program is described which performs a numerical integration of the equations of motion for a compressible two-dimensional boundary layer. Boundary layer calculations may be carried out for both laminar and turbulent flow for arbitrary Reynolds number and free stream Mach number distribution on planar or axisymmetric bodies with wall heating or cooling, longitudinal wall curvature, wall suction or blowing, and a rough or a smooth wall. A variety of options are available as initial conditions. The program can generate laminar initial conditions such as Falkner-Skan similarity solutions (so that initial wedge flows can be simulated including Blasius or stagnation point flow) or approximate equilibrium turbulent profiles. Alternatively, initial profile input data can be utilized.
