Lecture 22 : Rough Surface Turbulent Flows
 
Application to rectangular channels-9
  • Very close to the wall the turbulent component is ignored(consider Pr nearly constant) to get

  • In the turbulent zone ignore the laminar term. Define a turbulent Prandtl number as the ratio of the turbulent viscosity and diffusivity:
