A physical interpretation of von Karman's constant based on asymptotic considerations--a new value
|
ABSTRACT
The asymptotic profiles of a viscous flow and an inviscid turbulent flow are matched by the appropriate choice of the only free parameter, the von Karman constant K. The matching result is K = exp(-1) = 0.3678 This value is supported by recent experimental evidence from measurements at the very large Reynolds numbers required for the determination of the (asymptotic) value of von Karman's constant.
1. Introduction
The value of von Karman's constant K is subject to permanent discussion in the literature because it has a direct influence on the formulation of important boundary ...
