How to Evaluate Blasius Equation?

Blasius Equation evaluator uses Friction Factor = (0.316)/(Roughness Reynold Number^(1/4)) to evaluate the Friction Factor, The Blasius Equation formula is defined as the steady two-dimensional laminar boundary layer that forms on a semi-infinite plate that is held parallel to a constant unidirectional flow. Friction Factor is denoted by f symbol.
