Abstract

An analysis of fully developed, turbulent transitional flow between parallel plates is presented which is based on the modeling of the burst phenomenon. This analysis gives rise to predictions for the mean velocity profile which are in agreement with experimental data near the wall for transitional turbulent flow in a channel with large aspect ratio. Furthermore, predictions for the mean periodicity of wall turbulence are in basic agreement with available data for tube flow. (A)
