Considerations regarding velocity distribution and wall friction in incompressible axisymmetric turbulent boundary layers with transverse curvature
Abstract
Boundary layers for axisymmetric configurations are important in aeronautics, in the area of machine construction, and in industrial processing engineering. A significant effect of the lateral curvature on the boundary layer can be noticeable in the case of an aircraft fuselage and a long fiber. The basic mathematical relations regarding the curvature effects are considered, taking into account the momentum theorem of boundary layer theory and the possibility to obtain information regarding the friction coefficient on the basis of an extrapolation of the results obtained with laminar boundary layers.
