摘要
In experiments recently performed at Melbourne, Pitot-tube mean velocity profiles in a boundary layer disagreed with those obtained with hot wires. The standard MacMillan (1956) correction for the probe displacement effect and a correction for turbulence intensity were both required for obtaining agreement between the two sets of mean velocity data. We were thus motivated to reanalyse the Princeton superpipe data using the same two corrections. The result is a plausible conclusion that the superpipe is rough at the higher Reynolds numbers and its data follow the Colebrook (1939) formula for commerical pipes rather well. It also appears that the logarithmic law of the wall is valid, with a Karman constant close to that found recently by Osterlund (1999) from boundary layer measurements with a hot wire. The smooth regime in the pipe gave almost the same additive constant for the log-law as Osterlund's. A comparison between the superpipe data and the pipe data of Perry, Henbest & Chong (1997) suggests that the conventional velocity defect law may be valid down to lower Reynolds numbers than concluded by Zagarola & Smits (1998).
