Book Description
Numerical solutions of quantities appearing in the Karman momentum equation for the development of a turbulent boundary layer in plane and in radial compressible flows along thermally insulated surfaces are presented in tabular form for a range of Mach numbers from 0.100 to 10. Through the use of these tables, approximate calculation of boundary-layer growth is reduced to routine arithmetric computation. The variation of local skin-friction coefficient with Mach number is obtained through the assumption that the Falkner relation for low-speed flat-plate friction coefficents is dependent only on Reynolds number provided that the fluid properties are evaluated at the arithmetic mean of the wall temperature and the stream temperature.
