Abstract

The analogy between the transport of heat and vorticity when the Prandtl number is unity is used to provide a simple complementary solution of the boundary-layer energy equation for plane flow. The solution is extended to apply to axisymmetric boundary layers by suitably stretching the co-ordinate normal to the wall. Several applications of the solution are discussed.
