Effects of pressure gradients on entropy generation in the viscous layers of turbulent wall flows

By employing results of direct numerical simulations, it is possible to examine entropy generation due to friction in the viscous layers of turbulent flows with significant streamwise pressure gradients, both for boundary layers and channels. About two-thirds or more of the entropy generation per un...
