1. GURZHІENKO G. A., The Influence of Fluid Viscosity on the Turbulent Flow Law in a Straight Cylindrical Tube with Smooth Walls, 56 pp., 16 figs.

The author tests the turbulence theory of the Italian investigator G. D. Mattioli. The author introduces boundary conditions on the wall different from Mattioli’s, allowing for the existence there of a viscous layer. The application of these conditions leads the author to a new formula for resistance, correct, according to Nikuradze’s experiments, down to the very small Reynolds numbers, i.e., taking viscosity into account.
