The problem of discerning key features of steady turbulent flow
adjacent to a wall has drawn the attention of some of the most noted
fluid dynamicists of all time. Standard examples of such features
are found in the mean velocity profiles of turbulent flow in
channels, pipes or boundary layers. The aim of this article is to
explain and further develop the recent concept of scaling
patch for the time-averaged equations of motion of incompressible
flow made highly turbulent by friction at a fixed boundary
(introduced in recent papers by Wei et al, Fife et al, and Klewicki
et al.) Besides outlining ways to identify the patches, which
provide the scaling structure of mean profiles, a critical
comparison will be made between that approach and more traditional
ones.
Our emphasis will be on the question of how and how well
these arguments supply insight into the structure of the
mean flow profiles. Although empirical results may initiate
the search for explanations, they will be viewed simply as
means to that end.
