Abstract
In this paper we present a new asymptotic theory for the description of fully developed turbulent boundary layers and we apply it to determine the limiting behavior of solutions to the boundary layer equations near the point of zero skin friction in a prescribed adverse pressure gradient. In his classic paper, [1] Goldstein addressed this problem for laminar flow, while here we consider the corresponding problem for turbulent flow.
