Boundary Layer Codes for Students in Java, Version
2.1
Developed at the Department
of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering, Virginia
Tech by William
J. Devenport and Joseph
A. Schetz.
Here we present JAVA computer codes that are intended
for student use solving boundary-layer problems in a text such as "Boundary
Layer Analysis, Second Edition" by J. A. Schetz and R.D.W. Bowersox (AIAA, 2011) or boundary-layer
convection problems in a text such as "Heat Transfer" by J. P. Holman (McGraw
Hill, 1986) and other similar tasks. These codes are specifically not intended
as general purpose codes for use by working professionals in the field.
The goal has been to keep the formulation, logic and programming as simple
as possible so that the student can easily grasp the flow of the calculations.
There are eight separate codes
-
ILBLI which computes incompressible laminar boundary layers by an implicit
numerical method.
-
ITBL which computes incompressible turbulent boundary layers by an implicit
numerical method.
-
WALZ which computes incompressible laminar boundary layers using the Thwaites-Walz
integral method.
-
MOSES which computes incompressible turbulent boundary layers using Moses'
method.
-
WALZHT which computes incompressible laminar boundary layers with heat
transfer using the Thwaites-Walz / Smith Spalding integral methods.
-
MOSESHT which computes incompressible turbulent boundary layers using Moses'
method extended to include heat transfer.
-
CLBL which computes compressible laminar boundary layers by an implicit numerical method.
-
CTBL which computes compressible turbulent boundary layers using an implicit numerical method.
-
JETMIX which computes jet mixing problems in turbulent, incompressible flow using an implicit numerical method.
Some background information about these codes are available in the papers

LAYER CODES FOR STUDENTS by William J. Devenport and Joseph A. Schetz,
and HEAT TRANSFER CODES FOR STUDENTS IN JAVA
by William J. Devenport, Joseph A. Schetz and Yu Wang. Details of the theory
behind these various boundary layer methods can be found in the above texts.
Operating instructions and examples of use for the codes can be found here.
