Abstract

A number of numerical schemes were employed in order to gain insight in the stability problem of the infinite swept attachment line boundary layer. The basic flow was taken to be the classical Hiemenz flow. A number of assumptions for the perturbation flow quantities were considered. In all cases a pseudo- spectral approach was used; the chordwise and spanwise directions were treated spectrally, while an implicit Crank-Nicolson scheme was used temporally. Extensive use of the FFT algorithm has been made.
