Abstract

A complete theory of turbulent boundary layer flow over a flat plate with uniform wall suction is proposed. The theory relies on an asymptotic analysis of the Reynolds equations and dimensional considerations and does not involve any special closure hypotheses. Characteristics of the turbulent boundary layer with suction are calculated for the entire range of flow parameters by using the known characteristics of a reference flow (turbulent boundary layer over an impermeable flat plate). The velocity and shear stress profiles, the distribution of skin friction along the plate, and integral flow characteristics are obtained by using only the known velocity profile in the reference flow. The normal Reynolds stresses are calculated by using analogous characteristics of the reference flow. Results are presented in terms of scaling variables.
