Pritchard
Momentum Integral Equation
Equation is used to estimate the boundary-
layer thickness as a function of x:
1. Obtain a first approximation to the freestream
velocity distribution, U(x). The pressure in the
boundary layer is related to the freestream
velocity, U(x), using the Bernoulli equation
2. Assume a reasonable velocity-profile shape
inside the boundary layer
3. Derive an expression for tw using the results
obtained from item 2
