Mixing-length formulations for turbulent boundary layers over arbitrarily rough surfaces
Abstract
Mixing lengths are formulated for turbulent boundary layers over arbitrarily rough surfaces from both the van Driest and from the Rotta procedures. The associated eddy viscosities and the associated turbulent kinetic energies and turbulent dissipation rates are also formulated.
