Theodore von Kármán in 1930 theorized that turbulent shear could be represented by τ turb = ε du/dy where ε = ρκ 2y2du/dy is called the mixing-length eddy viscosity and κ ≈ 0.41 is Kármán’s dimensionless mixing-length constant [2,3]. Assuming that τ turb ≈ τw near the wall, show that this expression can be integrated to yield the logarithmic-overlap law, Eq. (6.28).
