A calculation method for two-dimensional incompressible turbulent boundary layers: Application of the unified velocity profile family
Abstract
The unified velocity profile family is applied to the integral method of calculation for two-dimensional incompressible turbulent boundary layers. The six unknown parameters contained in the family are reduced to three by two empirical relations obtained from experimental data and Thompson's skin friction law. Momentum integral, energy integral and moment-of-momentum integral equations are used to determine the three parameters. The method has been successfully tested for the boundary layers with various external pressure gradients.
