Investigation of turbulent flows
Abstract
The analysis deals with turbulent boundary layer flows with positive and negative pressure gradients, and with pressure-driven duct flows. The analysis is based on Movchan's (1975) semiempirical formula for the eddy viscosity. Improved approximate formulas for the velocity defect in the boundary layer are proposed, and the approximation error is assessed from a comparison with the experiment.
