Experimental Investigation of the Local and Average Skin Friction in the Laminar Boundary Layer on a Flat Plate at a Mach Number of 2.4

R.C. Maydew, C. C. Pappas

Abstract

Report presenting average and local skin-friction coefficients for laminar flow on a plate plate at Mach number 2.4 and compared with the laminar-boundary-layer theory of Chapman and Rubesin. The average skin-friction coefficients were calculated by the momentum-loss method from impact-pressure surveys of the boundary layer.
