Abstract
A semi-implicit boundary-layer method is developed for application to spatially evolving internal boundary layers in compressible fluids. Th e method circumvents convergence difficulties that may arise with full y implicit marching schemes whenever the mean streamwise velocity prof ile is inflectional. The method is demonstrated for the special case o f the compressible, laminar axisymmetric jet. However, the properties of the scheme make it well suited also to laminar or turbulent free sh ear layers, wakes and planar jets.
