Abstract

New expressions for the resistance law and dimensionless moment of force are derived for a Taylor-Couette turbulent flow starting from the generalized model of local balance for the turbulent energy. In the case of extremely high Reynolds numbers, the formulas derived involve a single empirical (Karman) constant.
