• Roughness effects in turbulent pipe flow (2006, background): “There is no universal friction factor curve for rough pipe flow, but for smooth pipes McKeon et al. (2005) found that the curve 1√ λ = 1.930 log(ReD √ λ) − 0.537 (2.4) fits pipe flow data for 31 × 103 ReD 35 × 106 to within 1.25 %.”
• High–Reynolds Number Wall Turbulence (2011, background): “…classic theory based on near asymptotics (Wosnik et al. 2000) and symmetry group methods (Oberlack 2001, Lindgren et al. 2004) result in a log law with a shifted origin, which is found to extend the fit to mean velocity data nearer to the wall (see also McKeon et al. 2005, Klewicki et al. 2009).”
