Theory

This section provides the mathematical derivations underlying the simbl solver including the governing equations and the resuling ODEs that are solved numerically.

Similarity to Physical Coordinate Transform Inverse transform from similarity coordinate \(\eta\) to physical coordinate \(y\)
Falkner-Skan Similarity reduction of the 2D compressible BL equations
Falkner-Skan-Cooke Similarity reduction for swept/yawed flows (quasi-3D)
