Reflections on a Penetration Theory of Turbulent Heat Transfer
Trinh Khanh Tuoc
This paper discusses a modified penetration theory where the time scale for the momentum wall layer is based on the onset of ejections from the wall but the time scale for the ther…
A Theoretical Closure for Turbulent Flows Near Walls
Trinh Khanh Tuoc
This paper proposes a simple new closure principle for turbulent shear flows. The turbulent flow field is divided into an outer and an inner region. The inner region is made up of…
On the Non Specific Nature of Classical Turbulence Statistics
Trinh Khanh Tuoc
The classical statistics of turbulence are shown to be not specific to turbulence and can be derived from a solution for recurring unsteady state viscous flow. Care must be exercis…
A Zonal Similarity Analysis of Velocity Profiles in Wall-Bounded Turbulent Shear Flows
Trinh Khanh Tuoc
It is argued that there are three distinct zones in a wall bounded turbulent flow field dominated by three completely different mechanisms: - An outer region where the velocity pro…
Additive Layers: An Alternate Classification of Flow Regimes
Trinh Khanh Tuoc
It is argued that ejections of wall fluid in the bursting process disturb the flow beyond the wall layer and result in the emergence of two new layers in the flow field: the law of…
On Virk's asymptote
Trinh Khanh tuoc
The Virk asymptote is shown to be similar in nature to the Karman buffer layer profile and does not represent a new log-law with a modified mixing-length. It is simply part of the…
The Fourth Partial Derivative In Transport Dynamics
Trinh Khanh Tuoc
A new fourth partial derivative is introduced for the study of transport dynamics. It is a Lagrangian partial derivative following the path of diffusion, not the path of convection…
