Blasius equation Calculator

The Blasius equation is an empirical correlation used to estimate the skin friction coefficient () for laminar boundary layers developing over a flat plate. It was derived by the German engineer, Hermann Blasius. The Blasius equation is given by:

Where:

  • is the skin friction coefficient,
  • is the Reynolds number based on the distance along the plate.
