The paper describes the results of detailed experiments with single cylindrical roughness elements in a favourable pressure gradient laminar boundary layer. Based on these results the allowable roughness height is analysed for a family of similarity type laminar boundary layers. Subsequently, the problem of optimum airfoil shape with maximum resistance against surface roughness is adressed. Finally, the scaling laws for allowable roughness height are discussed from a more global viewpoint.
