Turbulent fluid flows in a circular pipe and plane channel and models of mesoscale turbulence

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Based on the model of anisotropic wall turbulence in the near-wall layer and the momentum model in the flow core, velocity profiles in the entire region of the turbulent flow of an incompressible fluid in a circular pipe and plane channel have been obtained. The differences in the profiles among the layers are due to the change in the structure of turbulent vortices.
