Abstract

The flow in the laminar boundary layers on spheroids with axial ratios of 6∶1∶1 (prolate ellipsoid of revolution) and 6∶1∶6 (circular wing) at angles of attack of 5 and 10° is investigated numerically. The implicit finite-difference method described in [1] is employed. The results obtained are compared with the measurements reported in [2–4].
