Calculations of separation bubbles using boundary-layer-type equations. I. II

Two-dimensional models of separated flows are presented with stream-function boundary equations. A patching procedure is employed to solve for unknowns in viscous-inviscid interactions simultaneously in order to derive strong coupling. The technique features simplified Navier-Stokes equations and is useful for flows around flat plates and more complex geometries such as airfoils and cascades. Sample calculations are provided for separated flows in diffusers and in the neighborhood of trailing edges. Massive bubbles and unclosed bubbles are noted to present difficulties for the models.
