Abstract

Viscous/inviscid interaction procedures consist usually of coupling potential flow and boundary layer calculations. In this study, the interaction is modeled using Helmholtz-type velocity decomposition where the gradient of the potential is augmented with a correction accounting for the vorticity effects in the viscous layers. Different ways to calculate the rotational components are discussed and methods to systematically improve the model are studied. Numerical results are compared with standard Navier–Stokes calculations to justify the present approach.
