The number Reynolds of a flow of fluid on a sharp plate of length L is:

UL

We define the boundary layer thickness as the locus of points where the velocity y
parallel to the plate reaches 99 percent of the external velocity U.shall see in Sec. 7.4, tha
accepted formulas for flat-plate flow, and their approximate range, are:

Where Rex = Ux/ is called the local Reynolds number of the flow along the plate surface.
