Wall Turbulence

Let the mean velocity be U, and the turbulent eddy velocity be

(1)

where is the total stress at the wall and is the density. The equation of motion then becomes

(2)

where K is the Kármán constant (experimentally found to be about ). Integrating,

(3)

where A is another constant, so

(4)
