Shear stress, eddy viscosity, and mixing length distributions corresponding to five two-dimensional, incompressible equilibrium turbulent boundary layers were calculated by substituting measured velocity profile data into the governing equations. The five flows cover the range from moderate adverse pressure gradient to strong favorable pressure gradient. (Modified author abstract).

Annotation Design and R & D engineers and students will value the comprehensive, meticulous coverage in this volume. Beginning with the basic principles and concepts of aeropropulsion combustion, chapters explore specific processes, limitations, and analytical methods as they bear on component design.

Results of a study on the effect of freestream pressure gradient on the eddy viscosity and mixing length for incompressible equilibrium turbulent boundary layers were presented in a separate report. The present report describes in detail the analytical procedures used to obtain those results. A procedure is discussed for extracting shear stress, eddy viscosity, and mixing length distributions from experimental velocity profile data. Also a simple turbulent boundary layer calculation procedure is presented which was used to verify and to evaluate the data. (Modified author abstract).
