On the displacement height in the logarithmic velocity profile
Abstract
The displacement height appears in the logarithmic velocity profile for rough-wall boundary layers as a reference height for the vertical co-ordinate. It is shown that this height should be regarded as the level at which the mean drag on the surface appears to act. The equations of motion then show that this also coincides with the average displacement thickness for the shear stress. A simple analytical model, experimental results and dimensional analysis are all used to indicate how the displacement height depends upon the detailed geometry of the roughness elements.

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.
