THE FRICTIONAL RESISTANCE AND BOUNDARY LAYER OF FLAT PLATES IN NON-NEWTONIAN FLUIDS

Abstract

Boundary-layer parameters and frictional resistance formulas for either laminar or turbulent flow are derived for flat plates in power-law non- Newtonian fluids. The results for laminar flow are based on the known velocity profiles for pipe flow, whereas those for turbulent flow are based on the application of similarity laws.
