CALCULATION OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL BOUNDARY LAYERS--1.

A general method is presented for solving the laminar and turbulent boundary-layer equations for swept infinite cylinders and for small cross flows. In the equations the Reynolds shear stress terms are eliminated by using an eddy viscosity concept. A very efficient and accurate two-point finite-difference method is used to solve the governing equations. The accuracy of the method is investigated for several flows by comparing the calculated results with experiment and with those obtained by another author.
