By applying a boundary condition for vorticity [1] in addition to that for velocity, a velocity distribution on a flat plate set in a parallel homogeneous flow has been numerically obtained through a one-way calculation from surface to infinity, without the “matching” procedure between an analysis from surface to infinity and that from infinity to surface. The numerical results obtained were in excellent agreement with those by Howarth [2]. The usage of the boundary condition for vorticity has raised the accuracy of velocity distribution near a plate’s surface and made it possible to realize the one-way calculation from surface to infinity.
