Scaling laws for fully developed turbulent shear flows. II - Processing of experimental data
Abstract
A nonuniversal scaling law for the mean velocity distribution in fully developed turbulent shear flow is verified using classic Nikuradze (1932) data on velocity distribution and skin friction. Results obtained make it possible to determine the necessary constants in the scaling law and to confirm high accuracy.
