I have quite a bit of work to do with this but I will get to it eventually. I am in the middle (a bit closer to the end) of a senior year project which is eating up massive amounts of my time. I also don't like any of the data/results I have other than the experimental. I have been considering posting the experimental data but I think it would be better to just have a single table comparing all of the results.

This all started with a term project for a CFD course. My report contained quite a few simple analytical calculations which I could add. Any thoughts? These included items like shear on a flat plate, drag on elliptical rods, Reynolds numbers, boundary layer thickness, and others.
