A generalized form of the Coles compressibility transformation is utilized to analyze compressible turbulent boundary-layer flows. The generalization in the transformation is distinguished by specifying a stretching parameter that depends upon both space variables rather than on only the streamwise coordinate. This modification is shown to eliminate the distortion observed in the wake region of the transformed velocity profiles. For zero pressure gradient flows, predictions based upon the analysis are consistently superior with predictions due to Spalding-Chi and Baronti-Libby. A wide range of experimental data have been examined with Mach numbers ranging as high as 8, wall to free stream total temperature ratios as low as 0.25 and momentum thickness Reynolds numbers up to approximately one million.

This new edition of the near-legendary textbook by Schlichting and revised by Gersten presents a comprehensive overview of boundary-layer theory and its application to all areas of fluid mechanics, with particular emphasis on the flow past bodies (e.g. aircraft aerodynamics). The new edition features an updated reference list and over 100 additional changes throughout the book, reflecting the latest advances on the subject.
