Which law is followed by the velocity distribution in the turbulent boundary layer ?
Correct answer: C. Logarithmic law
- A. Parabolic law
- B. Linear law
- C. Logarithmic law
- D. None of these
Explanation
In the turbulent boundary layer, velocity follows the logarithmic law in the region away from the immediate viscous sublayer. The parabolic law is associated with fully developed laminar pipe flow, not turbulent flow.
