“…(3), is retained so as to ensure the conservation of vorticity or, as it sometimes is referred to, the solenoidality condition, obtained by taking the divergence of Eq. (3) to give V • co = 0 (5) Since vorticity is conserved according to Eqs. (3) and (5), only two of the vorticity transport equations are required to define the entire vorticity field so that one transport equation can be dropped to yield a balanced set of six equations for the six unknowns.…”

A three-dimensional streamlike function/vorticity transport procedure has been developed for the analysis of two-and three-dimensional steady, inviscid and viscous external flows. Special care has been taken to incorporate interacting boundary-layer concepts into this Navier-Stokes procedure in order to take advantage of the features that interacting boundary-layer techniques offer but retain the generality of Navier-Stokes methods. Numerical techniques have been applied to the present formulation that honorthe elliptic nature of the flow in the inviscid region and the parabolic nature in the viscous part of the flow. An implicit, successive line relaxation technique is used to solve two sets of streamlike function/vorticity transport equations for the streamwise and crossflow components of the flow. Solutions are presented for a series of model problems that demonstrate that this Navier-Stokes technique is capable of yielding accurate solutions that simultaneously capture the details of the inviscid and viscous flow regions.
