An integral method for calculating the effects on turbulent boundary-layer development of sweep and taper
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2016
Summary
A simple modification is described to the integral method of P. D. Smith for calculating turbulent boundary layers on infinite yawed wings to allow for wing planform taper. A comparison has been made between the modified and general methods for calculating three-dimensional boundary layers. This suggests that the modified method is useful for obtaining a rapid indication of the separate effects on the boundary layer of wing sweep and planform taper.
