There are two main types of fluid flow - laminar flow, in which the fluid flows smoothly in layers, and turbulent flow, which is characterised by chaotic motion and large amounts of mixing. In this ...

If the boundary-layer equations for a gas are transformed by Mises's transformation, as was done by Kármán & Tsien for the flow along a flat plate of a gas with unit Prandtl number σ , the computation ...
