T1 Asymptotic Space-Time Properties of Laminar Boundary Layers above Curved Surfaces JF International Journal of Fluid Mechanics Research JO FMR YR 2000 FD 2000-02-01 VO 27 IS 1 SP 62 OP 81 AB The effect of centrifugal forces on transient processes in laminar boundary layers and the time-space parameters of their two- and three-dimensional vortex structures are investigated. Radius of curvature R of the flow-washed surface is taken to be constant for simplicity and it is assumed that the Reynolds number ReR is high. Two- and three-dimensional equations of the boundary layer are obtained and scenari of its development in terms of space-time scales of vortex structures are proposed using methods of matching asymptotic expansions with a small parameter equal to the reciprocal of the Reynolds number. In particular, the space-time properties of two- and three-dimensional boundary layers are investigated as a function of the problem's governing parameters. The concept of susceptibility for this class of problems is formalized and validated. PB Begell House LK https://www.dl.begellhouse.com/journals/71cb29ca5b40f8f8,2dd99c20248ebd19,3d39750b414ca1be.html
