In an experiment on how turbulent boundary layers respond to acceleration in the flow around them, aerospace engineers at the observed an unexpected internal boundary layer. In an experiment on how ...

Recent advances have significantly enhanced our understanding of the complex fluid dynamics surrounding wind turbine blades. By employing non-invasive imaging techniques such as infrared thermography, ...

Stereoscopic flow visualization is being used to investigate the structure and evolution of a low Reynolds number turbulent boundary layer. The boundary layer has a Reynolds number based on momentum ...

Turbulent Flow and Boundary Layer Theory: Selected Topics and Solved Problems explains fundamental concepts of turbulent flow with boundary layer analysis. A general introduction to turbulent flow ...

The flow is from bottom to top. The Reynolds number based on momentum thickness is 700. The same volume can be seen with coordinates and dimensions in the previous stereogram, the large coherent ...

Turbulence makes many people uneasy or downright queasy. And it's given researchers a headache, too. Mathematicians have been trying for a century or more to understand the turbulence that arises when ...

Experiments were conducted in the Unsteady Pressure Gradients Facility in the Aerodynamics Research Laboratory at UIUC. The facility comprises a boundary layer wind tunnel and a removable installation ...
