On improvements of the dissipation integral method for the calculation of turbulent boundary layers
Abstract
The prediction of incompressible two dimensional turbulent boundary layers is discussed. An integral method based on the momentum and the mean kinetic energy equations was developed. A third integral equation was added to calculate the dissipation integral. This equation was derived from the turbulent energy equation and takes into account the flow.
