Abstract
By considering a few extra physical complications introduced by the presence of boundaries, small velocities, etc., it is possible to extend Heisenberg's methods to the calculation of critical Reynolds numbers. Calculations are carried out for Couette, plane Poiseuille, and Blasius flow. The results are found to be within about 20 percent of the observed values.Keywords
