Minimum Suction

  It is conjectured that minimum suction volume is obtained when at every point the suction volume is made just large enough to avoid separation at that point (locally minimum suction)

The following computations hold the nondimensional wall shear

above a certain small value, typically 0.2 or 0.025.

Shear distribution for P>0.2, 0.1, 0.05, and 0.025 and a=2:

Suction velocity distributions seem to converge:

Suction distributions for P>0.025 and a=2,3, and 4:
