How to Calculate Local shear stress?
Local shear stress calculator uses Wall Shear Stress = (0.0296*Density of Fluid*(Free Stream Velocity)^2)/((Local Reynolds Number)^(0.2)) to calculate the Wall Shear Stress, The local shear stress formula calculates the shear stress at the required point by using the boundary layer in turbulent flow theory. Wall Shear Stress is denoted by τw symbol.
How to calculate Local shear stress using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Local shear stress, enter Density of Fluid (ρfluid), Free Stream Velocity (u∞) & Local Reynolds Number (Rel) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Local shear stress calculation can be explained with given input values -> 4.086535 = (0.0296*1.225*(70)^2)/((0.55)^(0.2)).
