Abstract

The object of this paper is to develop and evaluate the basic surface renewal modeling approach for transpired turbulent boundary layer flows. Using a simple form of the surface renewal model in conjunction with the standard mixing length representation of the turbulent core, calculations are established for the dimensionless burst frequency s+, and distributions in velocity u+ within the inner region as a function of transpiration rate v+ and pressure gradient P+.
