Abstract
Résumé

In the work presented in this Note, an Indirect Turbulence Model (ITM) is proposed to derive the mean velocity profiles in wall-bounded flows in hydraulically smooth channels having a very wide rectangular cross section. The analytical expression of the mean velocity distribution is given. The connection between the velocity distribution parameters and Reynoldsʼ number is indicated. The thickness of the viscous sublayer is evaluated. The skin friction coefficient is computed, and the analytical expression of the turbulent viscosity coefficient is provided.

The validity of the proposed model is verified with reference to the velocity distributions, available in the literature, obtained with Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of Navier–Stokesʼ equations.

Un modèle de turbulence a été développé pour représenter la distribution de la vitesse moyenne locale dans un écoulements bidimensionnel turbulent. Le modèle proposé permet de décrire la distribution de la vitesse moyenne (en fonction du nombre de Reynolds) dans un canal lisse à section rectangulaire très large. Le modèle permet aussi dʼévaluer lʼépaisseur de la sous-couche visqueuse, la viscosité turbulente et le coefficient de frottement local.

Le modèle proposé a été vérifié avec succès en utilisant les distributions de la vitesse disponibles dans la littérature et obtenues par intégration numérique directe des équations de Navier–Stokes (DNS).
