Module 5 : Hypersonic Boundary Layer theory

Lecture 20 : Governing Equations for Viscous Flows

First, the pressure term on Right Hand side (R.H.S);

Since Mach Number can be written as   therefore;

 and furthermore, the term reduces to

 

Now the viscous term,

Thus the X momentum Equation reduces to,

& similarly Y momentum Equation reduces to,

Normal stresses τxx and τyyare ignored for the sake of simplicity.
