Numerical Calculation of Velocity Distribution for Equilibrium Turbulent Boundary-Layer by Means of the Momentum Equation and the Zero Equation Shear-Stress Model. Comparison with the Measurements by CLAUSER.

Abstract

The velocity distribution, turbulence shear-stress distribution and boundary-layer thickness for equilibrium turbulent boundary-layer were numerically calculated and compared with the measured data by Clauser. Numerical calculation was achieved by means of the momentum equation and the zero equation model for turbulence shear-stress. Boudary-layer thickness was also calculated with the momentum-integral equation. The results show the superior reliability of this method.
