Abstract

The stability equation of the asymptotic suction boundary layer profile, using a linear stability analysis, is transformed into a generalised hypergeometric equation. The solution of the stability problem may thus be written formally in terms of the relevant generalised hypergeometric functions. An asymptotic analysis is carried out on these functions for large values of the Reynolds number, and the asymptotic representation of the solutions shown to agree with that given by the usual Orr–Sommerfeld analysis.
