The article discusses the possibility of calculating the thickness of the boundary layer when flowing around an axisymmetric spindle-shaped body without using empirical similarity coefficients. For this, the use of physical analogy of processes is proposed. The necessary flow conditions are described. The two-dimensional Laplace equation is solved for the near-surface region of the laminar flow around the body, obtained by rotating a curve of a given shape. When solving the problems of conjugate heat transfer, the regularities of the interaction of the flow with the body surface are taken into account, which, as a result, is reduced to the joint solution of the boundary layer equations describing the flow field and the heat conduction equations describing the propagation of temperature fields inside and outside the body. In view of the complexity or impossibility of the analytical solution of such problems, it is customary to resort to numerical methods for solving these equations. Even the numerical solution of the conjugate heat transfer problem is associated with a huge number of calculations, the availability of computing power and significant time costs. Therefore, it is customary to solve such problems in a quasi-stationary approximation, which imposes certain restrictions on the scope of application
