A Similarity Model For Flow In A Turbulent Boundary Layer, Earl Clark Lemmon
A Similarity Model For Flow In A Turbulent Boundary Layer, Earl Clark Lemmon
Theses and Dissertations
One of the basic goals in engineering is to generate models which will provide a means for analytically predicting observed phenomenon. Such a model is often modified several times to obtain better results. The purpose of this study was to generate a model for an equilibrium turbulent boundary layer for steady flow over a flat plate and compare the results obtained by using the model with experimental data. Part of the objective was to also suggest ways in which the model could be modified to obtain better results.

Solutions of many natural and synthetic polymers have been found to reduce turbulent friction losses in flow through pipes. The basic mechanism causing these reductions is not entirely understood although two general theories have been advanced.
