Abstract

In this work the basic flow field is investigated for the compressible

boundary layer flow over a rotating disk. Making use of self-consistent

assumptions within boundary layer theory, the governing basic equa-

tions of motion are derived leading to a generalized steady compressible

Von Karman flow. A Runge-Kutta integration method accurate to the

fourth order is then employed for the solution of the resulting equations.

Finally the velocity and temperature distributions corresponding to the

various parameters are calculated numerically and presented.
