Abstract
We investigate the technique of combining solutions of the Prandtl equations with solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations to compute incompressible flow around two dimensional bodies. We present computational evidence which shows that if the “obvious” coupling is used to combine the solutions, then the resulting solution is not accurate. We describe an alternate coupling procedure which greatly improves the accuracy of the solutions obtained with the combined equation approach.
