SummaryIn this note a relation is established between the correlation parameters obtained by Cohen and Reshotko from similar solutions of the compressible laminar boundary layer, and the Pohlhausen-type pressure gradient parameter used in the approximate methods devised by Luxton and Young. A simple graphical procedure is presented to allow heat transfer coefficients to be obtained from known skin friction coefficients in the presence of a pressure gradient. In view of the restrictions of the similar solutions it cannot be claimeda priorithat the method gives accurate results. It does, however, reflect the strong dependence of the heat-transfer skin-friction relation on the pressure gradient and, by reference to calculated results published previously, it is suggested that the method may give adequate accuracy under quite severe conditions.

SynopsisThe first non-arbitrary coefficient, α12, of the Buckmaster expansions is evaluated in the context of the extended Goldstein-Stewartson theory. Leading terms of the next order contributions to the skin friction and heat transfer coefficients are also obtained.
