Turbulent boundary layer thickness Calculator

The thickness of a turbulent boundary layer can be estimated using the empirical relationship known as the “Prandtl’s mixing length theory.” According to this theory, the thickness () of a turbulent boundary layer is often expressed as:

Where:

  • is the thickness of the turbulent boundary layer.
  • is the distance along the surface.
  • is the Reynolds number based on distance .
