Extract

The compressible laminar boundary layer on a yawed infinite wing is considered in Ref. 1, where it is shown that the problem may be solved by a direct solution of the linearised equations of motion under certain assumptions. As an example of this procedure the boundary layer near a stagnation point was calculated. Tinkler has published solutions of the exact equations for the general Falkner-Skan case (Ref. 1) obtained on the M.I.T. differential analyser for several values of the parameter involved. It has been found that the numerical results of Ref. 1 were in error and the corrected results obtained by a new method are tabulated below. Tinkler's exact solution of the stagnation point flow for ω = 0·10 is also given for comparison, and it will be seen that there is close agreement
