Abstract

In [1, 2] turbulence of the external flow was taken into account by specifying the turbulent energy at the external boundary of the boundary layer on integrating the energy-balance equation for the turbulence. In [3] a special correction that allowed the turbulence of the external flow to be taken into account was introduced in determining the mixture path. In [4, 5] the turbulent energy calculated from the energy-balance equation of the turbulence was added to the energy induced by turbulence of the external flow, the energy distribution of the induced turbulence being specified using an empirically selected function. In [6, 7] a method of taking into account the effect of turbulence of the external flow on a layer of mixing and a jet was proposed. In the present work, this method is applied to the boundary layer at a plate.
