Problem 3(Outcomes 4&1)
The velocity profile u(y) inside of a turbulent boundary layer is a function of dynamic viscosity , density , and shear stress w.
(a) Determine the primary dimensions of the quantities u=w2 and l=w2.
(b) Applying the Buckingham-Pi theorem with ,, and w as your repeating variables, show that there are two -groups and express them in terms of uu and yl.
The experimentally determined functional relationship, famously known as the "Law of the Wall", is
uu=10.41ln(yl)+5.0
In an experiment with a flat plate, the local air speed at distance y=0.81 in from the plate is found to be u=16fts.
Note air=2.3310-3 slugs ?ft3 and air=0.3810-6lb.sft2.
(c) Using the relationship above, determine the wall shear stress w.
pls can u send it handwritten
