A theoretical investigation on the effect of the pressure strain correlations on the development of three-dimensional turbulent boundary layers
Abstract
Two approximate formulas relating to the process of shear stress generation in three dimensional turbulent boundary layers were derived. The derivation makes use of the assumption that the mean products of pressure and rate of strain fluctuations contribute substantially to the directional differences of the resultant shear stress and the resultant mean rate of strain. Calculations are presented for turbulent boundary layers on infinite swept wings and the results are compared with experimental data.
