where Pr = μCp ⁄k and
ReL = ρUL ⁄μ. The plate length,
L, and the exterior velocity,
U, are correlation inputs. The material data are evaluated at
(T + Text) ⁄2.
The laminar-turbulent transition at ReL = 5.105 is handled by the use of a smoothed Heaviside function with a transition of size
5.104, which corresponds to 10% of the threshold value.
where Pr = μCp ⁄k and
Rex = ρUx ⁄μ. The correlation inputs are
x, the position along the plate, and
U, the exterior velocity. The material data are evaluated at
(T + Text) ⁄2. To avoid division by zero when the position along the plate is located at the origin point (
x = 0), the implementation replaces
k ⁄ x by
k ⁄max(x, √ε) where
ε is the floating-point relative accuracy.
