Abstract: A new approach to computational fluid dynamics code validation is developed that gives proper consideration to experimental and simulation uncertainties. The comparison error is defined as the ...

Abstract: The status of prediction methods for friction coefficients in turbulent flows over nonuniform or random rough surfaces is reviewed. Experimental data for friction factors in fully developed pipe ...

Abstract: A re-evaluation of the skin friction coefficient and equivalent sand roughness data reported by Schlichting in 1936 on fourteen rough surfaces is presented. Several assumptions made during the ...

Abstract: Experimental data on a rough surface for both transitionally rough and fully rough turbulent flow regimes are presented for Stanton number distribution, skin friction coefficient distribution, and ...

Abstract: The results of an experimental investigation of the effects of surface roughness on turbulent pipe flow friction factors are presented and compared with predictions from a previously published ...

Abstract: A discrete element model for turbulent flow over rough surfaces has been derived from basic principles. This formulation includes surface roughness form drag and blockage effects as a constituent ...

Abstract: Experimental measurements of profiles of mean velocity and distributions of boundary-layer thickness and skin friction coefficient from aerodynamically smooth, transitionally rough, and fully rough ...

Abstract: A methodology to determine the experimental uncertainties associated with regressions is presented. When a regression model is used to represent experimental information, the uncertainty associated ...

Abstract: Measurements of Stanton numbers, velocity profiles, temperature profiles, and turbulence intensity profiles are reported for turbulent flat plate boundary layer flows with a step change in surface ...
