The location of boundary layer separation may be predicted by either semiempirical criteria or by various computer codes written for such calculations; attention is presently given to the streamwide length from separation to transition, denoted by Re(sL). It is demonstrated that the unit Reynolds number, a feature of the transition phenomenon implicit in the data of Schmidt et al. (1985) and overlooked in previous investigations, must be considered in future work.
