Abstract:
A simple procedure is described for computing the viscous drag of a body of revolution in axial motion from boundary-layer theory. Rapid approximate methods are developed for determining the growth of the laminar and turbulent boundary layers. A new empirical criterion is given for locating the position of self excited transition associated with low-turbulence flows.
