Abstract

This paper presents a theoretical derivation of the empirical Blasius power law correlation for the friction factor. The coefficients in this correlation are shown to be dependent on the Reynolds number. Published experimental data is well correlated. Key words: Blasius, friction factor, turbulence, power law, log-law, wall layer
