We consider the laminar boundary-layer flow past a semi-infinite plate with a stream-wise ridge. We seek similarity solutions to the problem, when the freestream velocity takes the form x* n, where x* ...

We have found that low levels of helium injection near the leading edge stabilizes the turbulent boundary layer, apparently causing a reverse transition to laminar flow to take place. These results ...

If the boundary-layer equations for a gas are transformed by Mises's transformation, as was done by Kármán & Tsien for the flow along a flat plate of a gas with unit Prandtl number σ , the computation ...

The Farnborough debut of Boeing’s latest 787 derivative has enabled details of the aircraft’s aerodynamic advances to be examined close up. The 787-9 is the first Boeing airliner to be equipped with ...
