Starting from Prandtl's (1945) turbulence model, we consider two systems of PDEs for the scalar functions $u$ and $k$ which characterize the stationary turbulent pipe-flow. This system is completed by a homogeneous Dirichlet condition on $u$, and homogeneuos Neumann or mixed boundary conditions on $k$, respectively. For these boundary value problems we prove the existence of weak solutions $(u,k)$ such that $k>0$ on a set of positive measure.
Keywords: eddy viscosity, Prandtl's turbulence model, mean turbulent kinetic energy., stationary uni-directional turbulent pipe-flow.
