continues to increase in the flow direction but the overall velocity
difference between the two outer regions is unaltered.

The turbulence structure also reaches a selfpreserving state, although
after a greater distance from the flow source than the mean velocity.
The velocity scale Urefis, as above, (UmaxUmin) for a mixing layer and

Flat late boundar la er and i e flow
1. Due to the presence of the solid boundary, the flowbehaviour and turbulence structure are considerably
different from free turbulent flows.
2. Dimensional analysis has greatly assisted in correlating the
experimental data.
3. In turbulent thin shear la er flows a Re nolds number based
on a length scale L in the flow direction (or pipe radius) ReL
is always very large (e.g. U = 1 m/s, L = 0.1 m and = 106
m2 s ives Re = 105 .
4. This implies that the inertia forces are overwhelmingly
larger than the viscous forces at these scales.

decreased to zero, Reynolds number based on y will also
decrease to zero.
2. Just beforeyreaches zero there will be a range of values of y
for which Rey is of the order of 1.
