When the curvature of a ships surface is large and the stern boundary layer is thick the cross-stream inviscid velocity and pressure variation becomes important in stern boundary layer computations. Two viscous-inviscid interaction computation procedures are presented. One uses a marching technique in a natural streamline coordinate system together with the turbulence model to solve the axisymmetric Reynolds-averaged parabolized Navier-Stokes equations for the streamline velocity (u) flow angle curvature, and hence the pressure (p). The numerical procedure starts at a station on the body where the boundary layer is thin and marches downstream into the wake. The boundary conditions for the values of u and p over the inlet plane and along a cylindrical stream surface outside the boundary layer/wake are set by the appropriate values obtained from the other simple viscous-inviscid interaction computations using a modified thin boundary layer method and potential flow calculations about an equivalent displacement body. Comparisons of measured axial and radial velocity and pressure distributions and those computed by the simple interaction approximations and partially parabolized techniques have been made. The simple and efficient viscous-inviscid procedure for the computation of velocity and pressure variations across thick turbulent stern flows has been shown to be accurate enough to use as a preliminary design tool. Originator supplied keywords include: Thick turbulent stern flows, boundary layer; turbulence modeling; viscous-inviscid flow interaction; axisymmetric flows.

The Third Symposium on Numerical and Physical Aspects of Aerodynamic Flows, like its immediate predecessor, was organized with emphasis on the calculation of flows relevant to aircraft, ships, and missiles. Fifty-five papers and 20 brief communications were presented at the Symposium, which was held at the California State University at Long Beach from 21 to 24 January 1985. A panel discussion was chaired by A. M. O. Smith and includeq state ments by T. T. Huang, C. E. lobe, l. Nielsen, and C. K. Forester on priorities for future research. The first lecture in memory of Professor Keith Stewartson was delivered by J. T. Stuart and is reproduced in this volume together with a selection of the papers presented at the Symposium. In Volume II of this series, papers were selected so as to provide a clear indication of the range of procedures available to represent two-dimensional flows, their physical foundation, and their predictive ability. In this volume, the emphasis is on three-dimensional flows with a section of five papers concerned with unsteady flows and a section of seven papers on three dimensional flows: The papers deal mainly with calculation methods and encompass subsonic and transonic, attached and separated flows. The selec tion has been made so as to fulfill the same purpose for three-dimensional flows as did Volume II for two-dimensional flows.

A comprehensive set of experimental data for flow over the stern of a three-dimensional model having 2:1 elliptic transverse cross sections, suitable for analytical comparisons, is presented. Included in this set are surface pressure and shear stress distributions, static pressure and mean velocity profiles, and Reynolds stresses. The eddy viscosity and mixing length values obtained from the measured Reynolds stresses and mean velocity gradients are also presented. The measured and derived data are compared with the predictions of existing three-dimensional theoretical methods. These comparisons confirm the need for improved prediction techniques in the thick turbulent boundary-layer region of the stern. (Author).
