Fife, Paul C.; McMurtry, Patrick | Properties of the mean momentum balance in turbulent boundary layer, pipe and channel flows | The properties of the mean momentum balance in turbulent boundary layer, pipe and channel flows are explored both experimentally and theoretically. Available high-quality data reveal a dynamically relevant four-layer description that is a departure from the mean profile four-layer description tradit... | Turbulent channel flow; Pipe flow; Reynolds stress | 2005 |

Fife, Paul C.; McMurtry, Patrick | Stress gradient balance layers and scale hierarchies in wall-bounded turbulent flows | Steady Couette and pressure-driven turbulent channel flows have large regions in which the gradients of the viscous and Reynolds stresses are approximately in balance (stress gradient balance regions). In the case of Couette flow, this region occupies the entire channel. Moreover, the relevant featu... | Couette flow; Stress gradient balance; Reynolds stress; Turbulent channel flow | 2005 |
