Abstract
A rational asymptotic theory describing the dynamic and thermal turbulent boundary layer on a plate at zero pressure gradient is proposed. The fact that the flow depends on a finite number of governing parameters makes it possible to formulate algebraic closure conditions, which relate the turbulent shear stress and heat flux to mean velocity and temperature gradients. As a result of an exact asymptotic solution of the boundary-layer equations, the known laws of the wall for the velocity and temperature and the velocity and temperature defect laws as well as the expression for the skin-friction coefficient, the Stanton number, and the Reynolds-analogy factor are obtained. The latter implies two new formulations of the temperature-defect law, one of which is completely similar to the velocity-defect law and does not contain the Stanton number and the turbulent Prandtl number, and the other does not contain the skin-friction coefficient. A heat-transfer law that relates only thermal quantities is also obtained. The conclusions of the theory agree well with experimental data.
