Scaling Laws for Fully Developed Turbulent Flow in Pipes: Discussion of Experimental Data

Scaling Laws for Fully Developed Turbulent Flow in Pipes: Discussion of Experimental Data

We compare mean velocity profiles measured in turbulent pipe flows (and also in boundary layer flows) with the predictions of a recently proposed scaling law; in particular, we examine the results of the Princeton ``superpipe'' experiment and assess their range of validity.
