Abstract
A novel approach was proposed to developing a combined algebraic-differential model of turbulent viscosity, which was then used to modify the traditional method for calculating turbulent boundary layers on bodies of revolution immersed in an incompressible flow. Ample experimental data were invoked to test the developed model through prediction of features inherent in turbulent boundary layers on the body of revolution in the presence of Large Eddy BreakUp (LEBU) devices installed in the vicinity of the streamlined surface. Within the developed approach, we showed it possible to calculate the evolution of local governing characteristics of turbulent flow in a broad range of LEBU parameters.
