Abstract
Viscous stresses are important in studying aerodynamics and calculating the forces. So far, we have ignored the viscous stresses compared to the pressure and acceleration in the so called inviscid flow in the region outside the viscous layers (around the body and in the wake).
Keywords
- Boundary Layer Equations
- Inviscid Flow Solution
- Shear stressStress
- Compressible Viscous Flows
- Trailing Edge
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
