Prandtl mixing length is___________________?
Correct answer: D. Zero at the pipe wall
- A. Applicable to laminar flow problems
- B. A universal constant
- C. None of these
- D. Zero at the pipe wall
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.
