Double-deck structure of the boundary layer in the problem of flow in an axially symmetric pipe with small irregularities on the wall for large Reynolds numbers

Abstract

The problem of flow of a viscous incompressible fluid in an axially symmetric pipe with small irregularities on the wall is considered. An asymptotic solution of the problem with the double-deck structure of the boundary layer and the unperturbed flow in the environment (the “core flow”) is obtained. The results of flow numerical simulation in the thin and “thick” boundary layers are given.
