The two-parameter momentum-integral method of M.R. Head for the calculation of two-dimensional or axisymmetric, incompressible, laminar boundary layers is reworked into an analytical form, thereby eliminating the graphical data of Head's original method. The revised method is coded for digital computer solution and a number of test cases are computed. The numerical results for these test cases are compared with very accurate boundary layer solutions obtained by a finite-difference method and also results obtained using the Pohlhausen momentum-integral method. It was found that the Head method is vastly superior to the Pohlhausen method yet requires only about the same computational expense. Head's method yields very accurate results even for highly nonsimilar boundary layers. (Author).

This new edition of the near-legendary textbook by Schlichting and revised by Gersten presents a comprehensive overview of boundary-layer theory and its application to all areas of fluid mechanics, with particular emphasis on the flow past bodies (e.g. aircraft aerodynamics). The new edition features an updated reference list and over 100 additional changes throughout the book, reflecting the latest advances on the subject.

Analysis of Turbulent Flows is written by one of the most prolific authors in the field of CFD. Professor of Aerodynamics at SUPAERO and Director of DMAE at ONERA, Professor Tuncer Cebeci calls on both his academic and industrial experience when presenting this work. Each chapter has been specifically constructed to provide a comprehensive overview of turbulent flow and its measurement. Analysis of Turbulent Flows serves as an advanced textbook for PhD candidates working in the field of CFD and is essential reading for researchers, practitioners in industry and MSc and MEng students. The field of CFD is strongly represented by the following corporate organizations: Boeing, Airbus, Thales, United Technologies and General Electric. Government bodies and academic institutions also have a strong interest in this exciting field. - An overview of the development and application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), with real applications to industry - Contains a unique section on short-cut methods – simple approaches to practical engineering problems
