On the growth of Taylor-Görtler vortices along highly concave walls

Abstract

The primary objective of this study has been to prepare a chart for computing the growth of Taylor-Görtler vortices in laminar flow along walls of both high and low concave curvature. Taylor-Görtler vortices are streamwise vortices having alternate right- and left-hand rotation that may develop in the laminar boundary layer along a concave surface.
