In this paper, turbulent heat and momentum transfer for a fluid forced through a vertical tube is considered. First, the authors study a shearing-stress distribution in a tube, by taking the buoyancy force and also the inertia force due to acceleration into consideration. It is proved that the effects of both forces operate quite similarly and result in a very rapid decrease of the shearing stress near the wall. By considering how the velocity profile depends upon the shearing-stress gradient at the wall, the authors deduce the criteria for the prominent effects of buoyancy and acceleration. Second, by assuming that the turbulent boundary layer is constructed by the superposition of the locally developed layers, the authors propose an approximate theory to calculate velocity and temperature profiles under the large effects of buoyancy and acceleration. Thirdly, based on the above theory, a criterion of the reverse transition from turbulent to laminar flow is proposed.
