Abstract
Mathematical and experimental evidence is presented to the effect that the velocity profile in the intermediate region of turbulent shear flow in a pipe obeys a Reynolds-number dependent scaling (power) law rather than the widely believed von Ka´rma´n-Prandtl universal logarithmic law. In particular, it is shown that similarity theory and the Izakson-Millikan-von Mises overlap argument support the scaling law at least as much as they support the logarithmic law, while the experimental evidence overwhelmingly supports the scaling law.
