Abstract

Consideration of convection has so far been limited to laminar flow. For turbulent flow, it is possible to introduce additional terms into the momentum and energy equations to account for the presence of turbulence, and to obtain numerical solutions to the finite difference forms of the equations.1, 2 However, these methods have only become possible with the use of the more recent and more powerful generations of digital computer, and at an introductory level the more classical approaches will be followed.
