"Turbulent Shear Flow: Analytic Result for a Universal Amplitude"Amit Chattapadhyay , UVA-Chemistry [Host: Eugene Kolomeisky]
ABSTRACT:
In the turbulent boundary layer above a flat plate, the velocity profile
is known to be proportional to the logarithm of the plate separation
distance. We will arrive at this experimental observation from theoretical
arguments and will give an estimate of the proportionality constant,
which happens to be a universal number. The final calculations will be
compared with experimental data."
