TLDR
In this paper, a hot-wire anemometer was used to measure the turbulent flow in a 10-inch pipe at speeds of approximately 10 and 100 feet per second, and the results include relevant mean and statistical quantities, such as Reynolds stresses, triple correlations, turbulent dissipation, and energy spectra.Abstract:
Measurements, principally with a hot-wire anemometer, were made in fully developed turbulent flow in a 10-inch pipe at speeds of approximately 10 and 100 feet per second. Emphasis was placed on turbulence and conditions near the wall. The results include relevant mean and statistical quantities, such as Reynolds stresses, triple correlations, turbulent dissipation, and energy spectra. It is shown that rates of turbulent-energy production, dissipation, and diffusion have sharp maximums near the edge of the laminar sublayer and that there exist a strong movement of kinetic energy away from this point and an equally strong movement of pressure energy toward it.read more

TL;DR: The second-moment turbulent closure hypothesis has been applied to geophysical fluid problems since 1973, when genuine predictive skill in coping with the effects of stratification was demonstrated as discussed by the authors.

Reassessment of the scale-determining equation for advanced turbulence models
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-equation turbulence model is proposed that is shown to be quite accurate for attached boundary layers in adverse pressure gradient, compressible boundary layers, and free shear flows.

The law of the wake in the turbulent boundary layer
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed to represent the mean-velocity profile by a linear combination of two universal functions, namely the law of the wall and the wake, and compared the results with experimental data.

Predictions of Channel and Boundary-Layer Flows with a Low-Reynolds-Number Turbulence Model
TL;DR: In this paper, 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.

Numerical investigation of turbulent channel flow
Parviz Moin,John Kim +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a large-scale flow field was obtained by directly integrating the filtered, three-dimensional, time dependent, Navier-Stokes equations, and small-scale field motions were simulated through an eddy viscosity model.

TL;DR: In this article, a discussion of the integral relations for the flow of the boundary-layer type is presented, and the characteristic laws of spread of jets, wakes, and so forth, can be obtained directly for the laminar case and, with the help of dimensional reasoning, for the turbulent case as well.
