Scaling laws for fully developed turbulent flow in pipes: discussion of experimental data.
We compare mean velocity profiles measured in turbulent pipe flows (and also in boundary layer flows) with the predictions of a recently proposed scaling law; in particular, we examine the results of the Princeton "super-pipe" experiment and assess their range of validity.
