Analytical Prediction of Turbulent Heat Transfer Parameters.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to construct a purely theoretical foundation for the phenomenon of turbulent heat transfer. In the present report it is shown that the buckling theory of inviscid streams and the classical hydrodynamic stability theory are in agreement with respect to the time scale criterion that accounts for transition to turbulence. Two experimental studies that confirm this correspondence are described. (Author)
