An approximate method for treating a turbulent boundary layer with symmetry of revolution
Abstract
An approximate method for handling a turbulent boundary layer with symmetry of revolution is proposed which is based on a variant of semiempirical phenomonological theory developed for the two-dimensional analogue case. The method relies on an analogy with rheological laws used in the study of flows of non-Newtonian liquids with nonlinear viscosity. First results obtained using this method to calculate a turbulent boundary layer on a sphere are encouraging.
