Topology of Skin-Friction Fields

  • Chapter
Three-Dimensional Attached Viscous Flow

  • 1723 Accesses

Abstract

Topological considerations of velocity and skin-friction fields are a powerful tool for flow-field diagnostics and interpretation. We studied in Section 4.4 characteristic properties of three-dimensional attached viscous flow and in Chapter 6 aspects of the interaction between attached viscous flow and its external inviscid flow. In the present chapter we investigate the topology of skin-friction fields of attached viscous flow. Mainly attachment points and lines, but also to a certain extent separation points and lines are considered.
