Skin friction of the wind on the Earth's surface [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Containing Papers of a Mathematical and Physical Character, 1916 Abstract The mechanism by means of which momentum is transmitted to a solid surface, in order that it may exert a drag on a fluid flowing past it, is at present understood only very imperfectly. It seems certain, however, that the law of dynamical similarity is applicable to skin friction; if therefore it were possible to measure the ...
