Extract

Provided the relationship between the form-parameters H32 and H12is known, the two-dimensional turbulent boundary layer may be calculated by means of the approximate theories of Walz and Truckenbrodt without the necessity for an explicit law for the velocity profile. This relationship H32=f(H12) introduces the influence of the velocity profiles into the calculation. It is the third empirical relationship—beside those for skin friction and dissipation— which is needed to solve the momentum and energy integral equations. The formulae or curves for H32=f(H12) which are given in published papers show considerable deviations from each other so that it was felt necessary to investigate this relationship again. Fig. 1 shows the different curves.
