Summary

Chapter 7 provides a discussion of the behavior of laminar and turbulent boundary layers at a conceptual level without presenting any specific correlations that can be used to solve an external flow problem. In Section 7.3 the boundary layer equations are derived and Section 7.4 shows how, with some limitations, their solution can be expressed in terms of a limited set of nondimensional parameters: the Reynolds number, Prandtl number, and Nusselt number. These relationships are referred to as correlations.
