Three-dimensional boundary layer analysis program Blay and its application

Abstract

The boundary layer calculation program (BLAY) is a program code which accurately analyzes the three-dimensional boundary layer of a wing with an undefined plane. In comparison with other preexisting programs, the BLAY is characterized by the following: (1) the time required for computation is shorter than any other; (2) the program is adaptable to a parallel processing computer; and (3) the program is associated with a secondary accuracy in the z-direction. As a boundary layer modification to transonic nonviscous flow analysis programs, it is used to adjust viscous and nonviscous interference problems repeatedly. Its efficiency is an important factor in cost reduction in aircraft designing.
