Nearly homogeneous turbulent shear flow
Abstract
On the basis of simple mathematical forms for the components of energy exchange and for the components of dissipation a description in closed form of a nearly homogeneous shear flow is obtained which is in agreement with recently published measurements. The equation of turbulent shear stress delivers for the components of energy exchange a dependence on the relative shear stress (shear stress relative to turbulent energy), apparently confirmed by measurements.
