Extract

A New type of auxiliary equation is given for calculating the development of the form-parameter H in turbulent boundary layers with adverse pressure gradients. The chief advantage of this new method lies in the rapidity and ease of calculation which has been achieved, without apparent sacrifice of accuracy.

Whereas the growth of momentum thickness in the turbulent boundary layer can now be rapidly calculated by methods involving only simple quadrature, the prediction of the form parameter development remains a laborious task, while the results obtained do not always appear to justify the complexity of the calculations.
