Turbulent Boundary layer thickness on a flat plate

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the turbulent boundary layer thickness on a flat plate, highlighting confusion regarding the appropriate formula. The Schlichting formula, which states that δ = 0.37 X Re^{-0.2}, is mentioned as a reference but is absent in the latest 8th edition of Schlichting's "Boundary Layer Theory." Instead, the Hansen formula is presented, which involves a more complex relationship with Reynolds number. The original poster offers to share the derivation of the Schlichting formula if needed. This exchange emphasizes the evolution of boundary layer theory and the importance of updated resources.

I am really confused. Would you please tell me what the turbulent boundary layer thickness is on a flat plate?

There is a well-known Schlichting formula in the previous editions of his book “boundary layer theory”, which is:

\delta = 0.37 X Re^{-0.2}

But actually I could not find this relationship in his 8th edition book, instead I found the Hansen Formula, which is:

\frac {\delta U}{\nu} = 0.14 \frac{Re}{\ln Re} G(\ln Re)

Well I have the complete derivation for the Schlichting formula for the turbulent boundary layer.
If you need it, just ask. my e-mail id is waqaskhan200@yahoo.com
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'
I was enrolled in an online plumbing course at Stratford University. My plumbing textbook lists four types of residential toilets: 1# upflush toilets 2# pressure assisted toilets 3# gravity-fed, rim jet toilets and 4# gravity-fed, siphon-jet toilets. I know my toilet is not an upflush toilet because my toilet is not below the sewage line, and my toilet does not have a grinder and a pump next to it to propel waste upwards. I am about 99% sure that my toilet is not a pressure assisted...
After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...
