Abstract

It is shown that the criteria of Preston and of Patel & Head are special cases of a general Reynolds-number criterion which can be deduced as a requirement that there shall be some part of the boundary layer (in practice, the inner layer) in which the energy-containing and dissipating ranges of eddy size do not quite overlap.
