Abstract: The problem of determining the hydrodynamic entrance length in a rectangular channel is solved by the method of linearizing the Navier-Stokes equation. The resulting equation is regarded as an ...

Abstract: An approximate integral method of analysis is developed for unsteady laminar boundary layer flows. The case of a flat plate in a free stream with small harmonic velocity oscillations about a ...

Abstract: Boundary layer characteristics on the pressure-side of a turbine airfoil were investigated experimentally in a three-blade cascade tunnel. The blades had a chord length of 21 in. to facilitate ...
