In fully developed turbulent pipe flow, the mean temporal derivatives van-
ish and velocity statistics only depend on the radial coordinate. Hence,
Eq. (5.45) reduces to
∂
(rhV i) = 0,
∂r
which, with the boundary condition hV ir=R , integrates to
hV i = 0.

Differentiating in the streamwise direction yields

The axial momentum equation (5.46) simplifies to

At r = R, huvi vanishes and thus
