MartinRei New Member Martin R. Join Date: Oct 2011 Posts: 7 Rep Power: 14	Hello all, is there another way to estimate the boundary layer thickness of e.g. a 3D cube than by trial and error? Or some rule of thumb how to approach such a problem? The analytical equation for the flat plate doesn't make sense, unfortunately. Thanks in advance.
