Abstract: For calculation of the characteristic parameters of the boundary layer (momentum-loss thickness and form parameter for the velocity profile), two quadrature formulas are given which are valid for the laminar as well as for the turbulent state of flow. These formulas cover both the two-dimensional and the rotationally symmetrical case. The calculation of the momentum-loss thickness is carried out by a simple integration of the energy theorem. The equation for the form parameter is obtained by coupling of the momentum theorem with the energy theorem. Knowledge of the derivatives of the velocity distribution and of the radius of the body along the length x is not necessary.
