The Ratio of the Wall Shear Stresses in Concentric Annuli
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2016
Summary
Experimental results are presented of the measurement of the ratio of the wall shear stresses at the inner and outer surfaces of concentric annuli. Five radius ratios were investigated with Reynolds numbers in the range 2000-89 000 with air. The Reynolds number is defined as where ū is the bulk velocity.
It is concluded that the ratio of the shear stresses is very different from the corresponding laminar flow value and is a function of both radius ratio and Reynolds number.
