Summary

A method to calculate two-dimensional or axisymmetric, compressible, wall-bounded viscous flows is described. The solution procedure involves a finite-difference discretisation of the governing flow equations. A number of novel normal co-ordinate transformations are used to enable efficient use to be made of the computational grid points. The implementation of zero-, one- and two-equation turbulence models is described. Results are presented for a range of compressible boundary-layer flows, and for an incompressible wake/ boundary layer mixing flow.
