Abstract

Asymptotic reductions of the Fanno model for one-dimensional turbulent compressible flow of a perfect gas in a long tube are investigated. Conservation laws are derived using the multiplier method for a nonlinear wave equation and a nonlinear diffusion equation for the mean velocity and a nonlinear diffusion equation for the mean pressure. Two conserved quantities for the mean velocity are obtained from the conservation laws and boundary conditions. An invariant solution is derived for the mean velocity using the Lie point symmetries associated with the conserved vector which generated the conserved quantity for the boundary value problem.
