Extract

It is both a privilege and a pleasure to be asked to contribute to an edition of the Aeronautical Journal to celebrate Professor Alec Young's 70th birthday. He has been my mentor for nearly a quarter of a century.

The subject of integral prediction methods for boundary layers is one with which Alec Young has long been associated. Starting with a method for laminar compressible flow he has guided the development of, amongst others, integral methods for compressible laminar flow with heat transfer, three-dimensional laminar flow, three-dimensional turbulent flow and flows with pressure gradients normal to the surface.

This paper attempts to describe the integral methods for compressible turbulent boundary layers which are most widely used in aerodynamic design and to discuss the application of inverse integral methods to three-dimensional separated flows.
