Journal ArticleDOI
High–Reynolds Number Wall Turbulence
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review wall-bounded turbulent flows, particularly high-Reynolds number, zero-pressure gradient boundary layers, and fully developed pipe and channel flows.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mean-flow scaling of turbulent pipe flow
M. V. Zagarola,Alexander Smits +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new friction factor relation is proposed which is within ± 1.2% of the data for Reynolds numbers between 10×103 and 35×106, and includes a term to account for the near-wall velocity profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wall-bounded turbulent flows at high Reynolds numbers: Recent advances and key issues
Ivan Marusic,Beverley McKeon,Peter A. Monkewitz,Hassan M. Nagib,Alexander Smits,Katepalli R. Sreenivasan +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors distill the salient advances of recent origin, particularly those that challenge textbook orthodoxy, and highlight some of the outstanding questions, such as the extent of the logarithmic overlap layer, the universality or otherwise of the principal model parameters, and the scaling of mean flow and Reynolds stresses.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the logarithmic region in wall turbulence
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse recent experimental data in the Reynolds number range of nominally 2 × 104 < Reτ < 6 × 105 for boundary layers, pipe flow and the atmospheric surface layer, and show that the data support the existence of a universal logarithmic region.
Book
Turbulent Shear Layers in Supersonic Flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the Equations of Motion, Mean Flow and Turbulence Behavior of boundary layers have been studied in the context of boundary layer mean flow behavior in two-dimensional interactions.
