Abstract

A preliminary analysis is developed coupling surface-renewal and classical ideas which accounts for the fundamental difference between the transport process within the wall region and the turbulent core. It shows that Prt increases with Pr very near the wall, but decreases with Pr at greater distances from the wall.
