Reynolds Number Dependence of Skin Friction and Other Bulk Flow Variables in Two-Dimensional Rectangular Duct Flow
Abstract
The Reynolds number dependence of Cf, Uo, H and other bulk flow parameters in “two dimensional” (high aspect ratio) rectangular duct flow is explored and the empirical relations Cf = 0.073 Re−1/4 and Uo/U¯ = 1.28 Re−0.0116 are presented. The values A = 2.12 and K = 0.41 for the log-law constants and Π = 0.14 for Coles’ wake parameter are derived and are shown to be independent of Re. The integration of Dean’s formula for the complete velocity profile provides close agreement with all parameters when these values of A, K and Π are used and is shown to coincide with the “optimum log-law” for skin friction (which contains Π).

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.
