Energy losses of equilibrium three-dimensional boundary layers
Abstract
The present study is concerned with the energy losses in three-dimensional boundary layer flows under equilibrium conditions, taking into account a comparison of the obtained results with those of a study of two-dimensional boundary layer flow with an identical wall friction force. Energy loss, as considered in this paper, is related to an increase of entropy due to wall friction and mixing of nonuniform velocity. The end-wall boundary layer in curved channels is considered, taking into account the energy loss of an equilibrium boundary layer, and a comparison with two-dimensional flow. Investigations concerning the channel boundary layer on a rotating disk are also conducted.
