Default Law-of-the-wall and Wall functions

Hallo All

A very simple question. Using standard k-e models the near-wall region should be described by....

1) is it described by a wall function that use what is stated in the law-of-the-wall

2) is it described by the law-of-the-wall

Are wall functions a general term for different ways of treating what is inside y+ 30, where the law-of-the-wall is one way to do it??

Regards

Bo

My understanding is that:

1. "Wall functions" are a way of modeling the complex turbulent fluid behavior very near a solid wall that bounds a turbulent flow, and

2. The "law of the wall" is the result of many careful measurements of one configuration of turbulent flow, the flow over a flat plate.

So, there is the general technique and a particular example.
