A numerical method for treating strongly interactive three-dimensional viscous-inviscid flows (Q1114505)

An alternative numerical method is presented for solving the three- dimensional tripledeck equations for flows with strong viscous-inviscid interaction. This method is useful in computing 3-D nonlinear flows in which surface integral conditions such as those used in previous finite difference methods or the spectral method are not feasible. The method works well when applied to a variety of obstacle shapes and it agrees favorably with solutions to interacting flows obtained by other numerical methods.
