Abstract

Solutions are obtained for the self-similar form of the incompressible boundary-layer equations for all four second-order contributors, i.e. vorticity interaction, displacement speed, longitudinal and transverse curvature. These results are found to contain all previous self-similar solutions as members of the much larger family of solutions presented here. Numerical solutions are presented for a large number of cases, and several closed form solutions, which may have special significance for the separation problem, are also discussed.
