"This paper examines the Rotta skin friction law (1950) and the Schoenherr empirical formula (1932) for flat plate turbulent boundary layers in the light of direct skin friction measurements conducted in the range of the momentum thickness Reynolds number up to R-theta = 2.13 x 10(5). First, we demonstrate that the skin friction data almost perfectly follow the Rotta skin friction law derived by assuming the existence of the logarithmic overlap region and by using the velocity profile constants determined by Nagib et al (2007 Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 365 755-70)," scientists in Kyoto, Japan report.
"Next, we clarify the high Reynolds number asymptotic form of the ...
