Abstract
A multi-layer model of an energy length function is developed by employing recent results of the authors. The theory predicts the complete, mean streamwise turbulent kinetic-energy profile (MKP), in good agreement with empirical data for a wide range of Reynolds numbers (Re). In particular, a critical is predicted, beyond which a scaling anomaly appears and MKP develops a second peak.
