Abstract
Methods of predicting the growth of turbulent boundary layers in conical diffusers using the kinetic-energy deficit equation were developed. Three different forms of auxiliary equations were used. Comparison between the measured and predicted results showed that there was fair agreement although there was a tendency to underestimate the predicted momentum thickness and over-estimate the predicted shape factor.Keywords
