科技英语写作基础（系列）：阅读摘要on turbulent boundary layers 

The goal is to learn how to write better.

分析的目的是为了提高科技英语写作水平(不是针对作者)。

Green highlight is used to show good writing.

绿色: 好好学习。

Yellow means "questionable."

黄色：有问题。

Spectral link of the generalized Townsend-Perry constants in turbulent boundary layers 

https://journals.aps.org/prresearch/pdf/10.1103/PhysRevResearch.3.043054

We propose a first minimal theory for boundary layer turbulence that captures very well the profile of the mean-square velocity fluctuations in the streamwise direction and give a quantitative prediction of the Townsend-Perry constants. 

评论：Use “, which captures” and “gives”

Our theory is based on connecting all moments of velocity fluctuations as a function of the distance to the wall with the turbulent energy spectrum. 

A similar spectral theory was proposed in G. Gioia and P. Chakraborty [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 044502 (2006)] to explain the friction factor and the von Kármán law in G. Gioia, N. Guttenberg, N. Goldenfeld, and P. Chakraborty [Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 184501 (2010)]. 

评论：Not sure how to fix this.

We generalized it by including fluctuations in the wall-shear stress and the streamwise velocity. 

The theoretical predictions for the mean velocity and mean-square fluctuations reproduce the shape of the velocity profiles in the buffer and inertial layer obtained from wind tunnel experiments. 

评论：layers
