Abstract

The laminar flow of a wall jet over a curved surface is considered. A unique similarity solution is obtained for both concave and convex surfaces when the local radius of curvature is proportional to x3/4. This solution satisfies a similar invariant condition to the one derived by Glauert for the wall jet over a plane surface. The variation of the shape of the velocity profile, the skin friction, and the surface pressure as a function of curvature is given.
