Abstract
The time-mean characteristics of the laminar boundary layer near a two-dimensional stagnation point, when the velocity of the oncoming flow relative to the body oscillates are investigated analytically. First, when the amplitude of the oscillating velocity is small compared with the oncoming flow velocity, a series expansion is made and the obtained equations are solved numerically. The equations are also solved approximately in the extreme cases when the frequency is low and high. The obtained approximate solutions are compared with the numerical solutions in terms of skin friction. Next, when the frequency is high, the finite-velocity-amplitude case is treated. Time-mean velocity profiles and skin friction are obtained and compared with the small-amplitude case.
