The Van Driest transformation for compressible boundary layers with heat transfer is studied in the low-Mach-number limit. The limiting case leads to a bi-logarithmic type of profile for the mean velocity. A (purely mathematical) analogy with incompressible boundary layers having mass transfer at the wall is identified.
