Prandtl mixing length is___________________?

Correct answer: C. Zero at the pipe wall

  • A. Applicable to laminar flow problems
  • B. A universal constant
  • C. Zero at the pipe wall
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Prandtl's mixing length represents the turbulent momentum-transfer distance and must fall to zero at a solid wall because fluid velocity fluctuations vanish there.
