Abstract

In a recent paper (Stanislas et al. in J. Fluid Mech. 602:327–382, 2008), the authors proposed a representation of the turbulent boundary layer characteristics based on the analysis of coherent vortices performed from stereo PIV. These results are briefly recalled and a new wall function model is proposed and tested in the case of the turbulent channel.
