An Irrotational Flow Field That Approximates Flat Plate Boundary Conditions

Fluid Dynamics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

An irrotational solution is derived for the steady-state Navier-Stokes equations that approximately satisfies the boundary conditions for flow over a finite flat plate. The nature of the flow differs substantially from boundary layer flow, with severe numerical difficulties in some regions.
