Calculation of boundary-layer development using the turbulent energy equation
Abstract
The turbulent energy equation is converted into a differential equation for the turbulent shear stress by defining three empirical functions relating the turbulent intensity, diffusion and dissipation to the shear stress profile. This equation, the mean momentum equation and the mean continuity equation form a hyperbolic system. Numerical integrations by the method of characteristics with preliminary choices of the three empirical functions compare favourably with the results of conventional calculation methods over a wide range of pressure gradients. Nearly all the empirical information required has been derived solely from the boundary layer in zero pressure gradient.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
