Slip velocity method for three-dimensional compressible turbulent boundary layers

A slip velocity method for 2-D incompressible turbulent boundary layers was presented in AIAA Paper 88-0137. The inner part of the boundary layer was characterized by a law of the wall and a law of the wake, and the outer part was characterized by an arbitrary eddy viscosity model. In the present study for compressible flows, only a law of the wall is considered. The problem of 2-D compressible flow is treated first; then the extension to 3-D flow is addressed. A formulation for primitive variables is presented.
