Extract

The problem of the prediction of wall and fluid temperature with a turbulent boundary layer can appear in two forms:

  1. (a) the prediction of wall heat transfer with specified wall temperature;

  2. (b) the prediction of wall and fluid temperature with specified wall heat flux.

Because the differential equations governing heat flow in the turbulent boundary layer are linear, it is sufficient to be able to predict theoretically either the heat transfer rate consequent upon a step function of temperature or the temperature distribution following a step function of wall heat flow rate. Such predictions will then permit the treatment of the more general situations (a) and (b) by superposition.
