Abstract

The differential equation for turbulent viscosity [4] with empirical coefficients chosen from the conditions of best agreement with the experiment of Kholshchevnikova [5] is used for a numerical investigation of flow with heat transfer in the initial section of a circular tube for different values of the temperature factor, and also in the presence of roughness.
