Constant-Stress Layer in Flowing Fluids. In the boundary layer of a fluid flowing over a solid wall. Ihe shear stress varies with distance from Ihe wall bul ii may be considered nearly constant within a small fraction of the layer thickness. The concept is of particular importance in turbulent flow where it leads lo a theoretical derivation of the law of ihe wall," the logarithmic distribution of mean velocity. The constant stress layer is ihe best-known example of the equilibrium flow s near a wall.

Step 4 Set the boundary conditions as follows. The centerline, inlet velocity, and exit velocity/pres sure are set as in the laminar case slip/symmetry, v = 2, Normal flow/ Pressure, p = 0. The wall boundary condition, though, is set to the Logarithmic wall function. This is an analytic formula for the velocity, turbulent kinetic energy, and rate of dissipation, as determined by experiment (Deen, 1998, pp. 527-528). 

Qualitatively, the picture of stabilized turbulent flow in a plane channel is similar to that in a circular tube. Indeed, in the viscous sublayer adjacent to the channel walls, the velocity distribution increases linearly with the distance from the wall V(Y)/U = y+. In the logarithmic layer, the average velocity profile can be described by the expression [289]... 

Velocity measurements close to the wall or the velocity profile measurement in the near-wall region can be used to determine the wall shear stress. Clauser proposed an approach for shear stress measurement of turbulent flow [1]. Here, the mean velocity measurements away from the wall are used with the assumption that the mean velocity (u) varies with the logarithmic distance from the wall (y), i.e.. 

To determine the velocity profile at yo, the law of the wall can be used, which states that the average velocity of the turbulent flow at a point is proportional to the logarithm of the distance from that point from the wall. Thus, the expressions for the components of x and y of velocity vector in y = yo can be written according to... 

From a theoretical perspective, our understanding of the flow field above this aquatic surface tracks that presented above for the atmospheric boundary layer. For the neutral-stability class of turbulent flows the logarithmic velocity profile, the constant flux layer assumption and so on, apply as well. Although Equation 2.21 is valid for use in estimating Cf less measurement on yo, the bottom roughness parameters are available in aquatic environments for producing summary results as shown in Table 2.1. In the absence of these site-specific y values, an alternative approach is used to estimate Cf for hydraulic flows it is presented next.

Figure 6.9 Velocity profile in and above a submerged canopy. In the upper portion of the canopy flow is predominantly driven by turbulent stress, which penetrates downward into the canopy over attenuation scale (aCD) l. Below this flow is driven by potential gradients due to bed- or pressure gradients. At the top of the canopy the discontinuity in drag generates a mixing-layer. Above this the profile transitions to a logarithmic boundary layer profile.

The last parameter, CLi, is determined investigating inhomogeneous high Reynolds number, fully developed channel flows (i.e., these flows are sometimes referred to as 2D Couette flows). Actually, the turbulence model is applied describing the flow in regions near walls, where the logarithmic velocity profile applies. 

Note that in contrast to the rough velocity field of three-dimensional turbulence, the k 3 spectrum implies an almost everywhere smooth velocity field at small scales such that 5v(l) l (with logarithmic corrections). This also means that at scales below the forcing scale, within the enstrophy cascade range, the flow has a single characteristic timescale t 1) l/5v(l) w r, which is independent of the lengthscale l. 

The dynamics of turbulent plumes relevant to most crustaceans are complicated by the fact that many are produced in boundary layer flows. A crustacean moving across the substratum does so in a velocity gradient characterized by no motion of fluid in contact with the substratum and a nominal or ffee-stream velocity at some distance away. The region in between is characterized by a roughly logarithmic velocity profile that comprises approximately 30% of the water depth (Schlichting 1987). 

Equation (3.52) is a straight line on semi-logarithmic coordinates joining the laminar sub-layer values at y+ = 5 and equation (3.51) for the turbulent core at y " = 30. Finally, it should be noted that equation (3.51) does not predict the expected zero velocity gradient at the centre of the pipe but this deficiency has little influence on the volmnetric flow rate - pressme drop relationship. 

To implement a wall boundary when ak — e turbulence model closure is adopted for bubble driven flows in bubble columns, the conventional wall function approach used for the single phase flow is employed. The liquid velocity profile near the wall is thus assumed to be similar to the single phase flow profile and approximated by the classical logarithmic law of the wall, as described in Sect. 1.3.5. However, Troshko and Hassan [170, 171] claimed that this assumption is reasonable for dilute...
