An iterative procedure for the calculation of the thick attached turbulent boundary layer near the tail of a body of revolution is presented. The procedure consists of the potential-flow calculation by a method of integral equation of the first kind and the calculation of the development of the boundary layer and the wake using an integral method with the condition that the velocity remains continuous across the edge of the boundary layer and the wake. The additional terms that appear in the momentum integral equation for the thick boundary layer and the near wake are taken into account and the pressure difference between the body surface and the edge of the boundary layer and the wake can be determined. The results obtained by the present method are in good agreement with the experimental data. Part 1 of this paper deals with the potential flow, while Part 2 [1] describes the boundary layer and wake calculations, and the overall iterative procedure and results.
