文摘A compressibility boundary layer theory similar to the viscous boundary layer theory is presented. The classic hydrodynamics of ideal fluid needs to be modified to account for the compressibility effect in the inner layer when Mach number is small. The compressibility boundary layer exist on the time axis and relates to pressure field. Combined with the viscous boundary layer, it is now clear that the general four dimensional flow of large Re and small M has an inner region where flow is viscous and compressible and an outer region where the now is inviscid and incompressible. The compressible boundary layer theory also facilitate numerical solution of steady and unsteady flows.
