 | 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 |

 | Fife, Paul C.; McMurtry, Patrick | Multiscale analysis of heat transfer in fully developed turbulent channel flow | An analysis is given for fully developed thermal transport through a wall-bounded turbulent fluid with constant heat flux supplied at the boundary. The analysis proceeds from the aver-aged heat equation and utilizes, as principal tools, various scaling considerations. The paper first provides an acc... | Turbulant flow; Channel flow; Heat transfer; Multiscale analysis | 2005-12 |
