Skin Friction and Stability of a Laminar Binary Boundary Layer on a Flat Plate.

Oliver Alfred Gross

ResearchPublished 1963

A review of the problem of a laminar boundary layer on a flat plate with mass transfer. Previous work is reviewed and the fundamental equations are derived. The case of an incompressible laminar boundary layer without heat transfer with hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and iodine injection is solved. Velocity and concentration profiles and skin-friction coefficients are calculated and discussed. It is shown that surface injection of a foreign material into the boundary layer reduces the skin-friction coefficient. The stability of an incompressible laminar boundary-layer with mass transfer is estimated using the Lin approximation and is shown to decrease as the molecular weight of the injected substance decreases
