Example: turbulent flow in smooth pipe(

Three layer concept (using dimensional analysis)
1.
Laminar sub-layer (viscous shear dominates)
1.
2.
Overlap layer (viscous and turbulent shear important)
•
•
3.
Outer layer (turbulent shear dominates)
Assume log-law is valid across entire pipe:
Integration for average velocity and using EFD data to adjust constants:
(
k
=0.41, B=5.5)
