Abstract

The unsteady two-dimensional compressible boundary layers have been studied by Sarma ((5)) assuming that the Prandtl number is unity and that the wall is in an arbitrary motion, the main stream being steady. In this paper the Prandtl number is taken to be an arbitrary parameter which need not be equal to unity, and it is assumed that the main stream velocity and temperature are perturbing about a steady mean, the wall being in an arbitrary motion. Solutions are obtained in two parts, one when the temperature gradient at the wall is perturbing about a zero mean and the other when the temperature of the wall is perturbing about a steady mean. Thus in this paper the theory given in Sarma ((5)) is made still more general. Following the work of Sarma ((4)–(6)) two types of solutions are developed in each part, one for large times and the other for small times.
