A review of binary boundary layer characteristics.

Joseph Francis Gross, J. P. Hartnett, David J. Masson, Carl Gazley

Expert InsightsPublished 1959

An examination of several theoretical analyses of laminar and turbulent binary boundary layers. A generalization of the different theories leads to simplified expressions for the heat transfer and friction in both laminar and turbulent binary boundary layers. The results indicate that the effects of different foreign materials are primarily dependent on their relative molecular weights.
