Advances in CFD prediction of shock wave turbulent boundary layer interactions (2003, methodology): “The mean velocity profiles are displayed using the Van Driest [95] transformation.”
Hypersonic and High-Temperature Gas Dynamics (2019, background): “30 is a prediction by Van Driest [111], which is within 10% of available experimental data and which can be considered a standard for 338 HYPERSONIC AND HIGH-TEMPERATURE GAS DYNAMICS”
Reynolds and Mach number effects in compressible turbulent channel flow (2016, methodology): “Morkovin’s hypothesis also subtends earlier theoretical findings, as the celebrated van Driest transformation for the mean velocity profile [8], and led to relations between temperature and velocity fluctuations for adiabatic boundary layers, collectively known as strong Reynolds analogies (SRA) [7,”
Review and assessment of turbulence models for hypersonic flows (2006, background): “The development of this Van Driest [73] temperature relation becomes very complex and not very useful.”
Turbulence in supersonic boundary layers at moderate Reynolds number (2011, background): “…that, as in the incompressible case, the size of eddies in the overlap layer is proportional to the distance from the wall, `m = ky, (3.3) which leads to a logarithmic law of variation for the effective velocity (van Driest 1951), u+VD = 1 k log y+ + C, duVD = (ρ/ρw)1/2 du, (3.4) with y+ = y/δv.”
Direct numerical simulation of compressible turbulent channel flow between adiabatic and isothermal walls (2004, methodology): “Thus, the Van Driest transformation provides the universal velocity profile, while the standard scaling does not work well because of the failure of the assumption of 〈ρ〉 = ρw .”
