This is solved numerically to find the wall shear stress ( \tau_w = \mu r f''(0) ). The value ( f''(0) \approx 1.312 ) is a universal constant.

Integrate from ( r ) to ( R ) with no-slip ( u(R)=0 ): [ u(r) = \left( \fracG2K \right)^1/n \fracnn+1 \left( R^(n+1)/n - r^(n+1)/n \right) ] advanced fluid mechanics problems and solutions

At low speeds, the fluid moves in neat, circular sheets (Laminar Flow). As the inner cylinder speeds up, the fluid suddenly reorganizes into beautiful, donut-shaped vortices. Speed it up more, and it turns into total chaos (Turbulence). The Solution This is solved numerically to find the wall

Integrate (assuming $\delta=0$ at $x=0$): $$ \frac\delta^22 = \frac15 \nu xU_\infty $$ $$ \delta(x) = \sqrt\frac30 \nu xU_\infty = \frac5.48 x\sqrtRe_x $$ the fluid moves in neat
