Summary
Exact solutions are obtained for Stewartson’s equations of the compressible laminar boundary layer including the effects of heat transfer and pressure gradient. Then, after formulation of an extension of Thwaites’ method to include the effects of heat transfer, the exact solutions are used to evaluate the necessary parameters of the new method.
The principal developments of this paper, which is part of the Doctoral Dissertation of the junior author, were carried out under the sponsorship of the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Foundation at Princeton University. The final analysis and the computations were completed at the Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics.
