Comparison of mean flow similarity laws in zero pressure gradient turbulent boundary layers

The paper presents an in depth assessment of different similarity laws for the mean velocity profile in zero pressure gradient (ZPG) turbulent boundary layers (TBL's) in comparison with mostly experimental and few computational data. The emphasis is on the ...

Cavitation bubble behavior inside a liquid jet

François Avellan, Peter Monkewitz, Mohamed Farhat, Etienne Robert, Jacques Lettry

The growth and collapse of laser-induced vapor cavities inside axisymmetric free-falling liquid water jets have been studied. Bubbles of different size are generated at various distances from the jet axis and the effects on the jet interface are recorded b ...

Self-consistent high-Reynolds-number asymptotics for zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layers

Peter Monkewitz

The asymptotic behavior of mean velocity and integral parameters in flat plate turbulent boundary layers under zero pressure gradient are studied for Reynolds numbers approaching infinity. Using the classical two-layer approach of Millikan, Rotta, and Clau ...
