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
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
