The steady, compressible, turbulent boundary-layer flow, with heat and mass transfer, over a wedge, is numerically studied. The fluid is considered to be a Newtonian ideal gas (air) and it is subject to a constant velocity of suction/injection applied globally or locally to the wedge. The Reynolds-A...
