2~5 However, the effects of the kinematic viscosity on the turbulence structure were ignored in many of these treatments. Consequently, the exact boundary conditions at the wall cannot be used when the turbulence Reynolds number is not high as, e.g., in flows with rapid expansions or near the transition/turbulence interface. The general goal of the present investigation was to develop a single transport model from the Navier-Stokes equation for accurate predictions of skin friction, heat transfer, and fluctuating kinetic energy distributions in transitional and turbulent flow regimes. As a first step toward this general goal, a new turbulence model valid down to the solid wall is formulated in this paper. Turbulence model equations which provide predictions of the flow within the viscous layer adjacent to the wall have been proposed by several investigators.3'4'6'7 Although the general approach of the present model is the same as that of Jones and Launder,3 the detailed proposals are substantially different. In the present study, the Taylor series expansion technique was used to systematically investigate the proper behavior of the turbulent shear stress and the kinetic energy and its rate of dissipation near a solid wall. The results were used in developing a new turbulence model which retains the proper physical behavior of the balance between the dissipation and the molecular diffusion of the turbulent kinetic energy at the solid wall. The model was applied to the problems of a fully developed turbulent channel flow and of a turbulent boundary-layer flow over a flat plate. Results on skin friction, the distribution of mean velocity, turbulent shear stress, and turbulent kinetic energy will be presented and compared with available experimental data and with the theory of Jones and Launder.

Predictions of Channel and Boundary-Layer Flows with a Low-Reynolds-Number Turbulence Model

Preston's method of measuring skin friction in the turbulent boundary layer makes use of a circular Pitot tube resting on the wall. On the assumption of a velocity distribution in the wall region common to boundary layer and pipe flows the calibration curve for the Pitot tube can be obtained in fully developed pipe flow. Earlier experiments suggested that Preston's original calibration was in error, and a revised calibration curve has been obtained and is presented here.From experiments in strong favourable and adverse pressure gradients, limits are assigned to the pressure-gradient conditions within which the calibration can be used with prescribed accuracy. It is shown that in sufficiently strong favourable gradients the ‘inner-law’ velocity distribution breaks down completely, and it is suggested that this breakdown is associated with reversion to laminar flow.As an incidental result, values have been obtained for the constants occurring in the logarithmic expression for the inner-law velocity distribution.

The incompressible zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layer: An assessment of the data

An outline of the techniques available for the measurement of skin friction in turbulent boundary layers

Experiments have been conducted to measure the local surface-shear stress and the average skin-friction coefficient in Incompressible flow for a turbulent boundary layer on a smooth flat plate having zero pressure gradient. Data were obtained for a range of Reynolds numbers from 1 million to 45 million. The local surface-shear stress was measured by a floating-element skin-friction balance and also by a calibrated total head tube located on the surface of the test wall. The average skin-friction coefficient was obtained from boundary-layer velocity profiles.
