Abstract

Several theoretical [1–4] and experimental [5–7] studies have been devoted to the study of the effect of distributed injection of a gaseous substance on the characteristics of the turbulent boundary layer. The primary study has been made of flow past a flat plate with gas injection. The theoretical methods are based primarily on the semiempirical theories of Prandtl [1] and Karman [2].

In contrast with the previous studies, the present paper proposes a power law for the mixing length; this makes it possible to obtain velocity profiles which degenerate to the known power profiles [8] in the case of flow without blowing and heat transfer. This approach yields analytic results for flows with moderate pressure gradient.
