profile of the same quantity from literature. Table nomenclature: y – wall normal distance in m, first value denotes the measurement very close to the upper edge of the water flow with a depth of 0.136 m
1. Boundary layer thickness, displacement thickness and momentum thickness
2. Mean velocity profile in outer scaling
3. Mean turbulent stresses in outer scaling
4. Calculate the shear velocity and plot the mean velocity in inner scaling. Explain how you
obtained the shear velocity.
5. Turbulence quantities in inner scaling and compare the profiles to a standard boundary
layer profile of the same quantity from literature.
Table nomenclature:
y – wall normal distance in m, first value denotes the measurement very close to the upper
edge of the water flow with a depth of 0.136 m
U – streamwise velocity at any y location in m/s
u’ – streamwise fluctuations
v’ – wall normal fluctuations
Overbar denotes the mean quantity, and the dimensions are in SI units
