Extract

When a turbulent fluid flows past a solid surface whose temperature differs from that of the fluid, the shear stress at the surface and the heat flow from it can be related by means of the Reynolds analogy. This analogy has been improved by Prandtl, Taylor, von Kármán and others, and its validity has been tested for flow through tubes and past flat plates by several investigators. In this note the analogy is checked against shear stress data and heat transfer data for a cylinder rotating in “still” air, when the flow is turbulent.
