This study uses laser-induced fluorescence technique to visualize the turbulent flow of an axisymmetric water jet. The fractal dimension of the scalar interface in turbulent flows is measured and interpreted.

WALL-BOUNDED SHEAR FLOW 0.99U0 http://www.symscape.com/node/447 Nominal limit of boundary layer U0 Viscous sublayer For fully developed, bounded turbulent flow (not changing in x): viscous Reynolds
Function of z only Function of x only Stress distribution is then LINEAR z CONSTANTS! centerline or surface
in boundary layer over flat plate (no press grad): stress is now a function of x and z z z edge of boundary layer
Near the wall – Different Layers z ū (x) Only involve mass dimension u(x,z) Should appear together in nondimensional groups Friction Velocity http://furtech.typepad.com/
This relates 4 variables involving the dimensions of length and time According to the PI THEOREM, this relationship has 4 variables and 2 dimensions Then, only two (4 – 2) non-dimensional groups can result: Law of the Wall Z+ is a distance nondimensionalized by the viscous scale Inner part of the wall layer, right next to the wall, is called the viscous sublayer– dominated by viscous effects
z (m) = z+ν/u* viscous sublayer buffer layer logarithmic layer
outer layer Velocity defect law Equating and multiplying times z/u* logarithmic layer Karman constant = 0.41 buffer layer viscous sublayer Law of the wall
Karman constant = 0.41 Integrating: From experiments: Velocity distributions for the Overlap layer, Inertialsublayer, Logarithmic layer Logarithmic velocity distribution near a boundary can also be derived from dimensional analysis
can only depend on z, and the only relevant velocity scale is u*
