    Abstract :

    This paper reports on an investigation of the influence of leading edge location (of a flat plate) on skin friction in a zero pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer. An attempt has been made to correct the turbulent boundary layer data in accordance with virtual leading edge of the turbulent boundary layer so that the data of different sources can be compared. Experimental data of two different sources are used for analysis. Encouraging results are obtained from the present approach.
